There are conveniences to having them all on one machine, rather than split across two machines. It's a reasonable question to ask, and there are reasonable answers.Ĭonsider someone who needs to run a mix of Mac and Windows applications. ![]() With Windows PCs available for next to nothing, both new and refurb, with Windows pre-installed (you know Windows is not included with either emulator, right?), please, someone provide me with justification for not just buying a cheap PC to run your QuickBooks Pro, or some other application not available on MacOS? Sure you can do it, but in the words of my late mother, "JP, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD." Mom was wise. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac - Use Windows Applications alongside your Mac Apps!.It mystifies me as to why anyone would want to run Windows on a Mac, silicon or otherwise. The only issue that I have had is that sometimes after upgrading from a previous version, you will need to "re-authorize" your copy of Windows. But when coupled with an SSD the performance increases dramatically. ![]() On a conventional HD the performance is rather good. Mostly for sandboxing and testing, but the XP VM I have to keep running for some legacy software. I currently maintain VM's for WinXP, Win7, Snow Leopard, Mavericks and Linux. OWC was offering a hefty discount when purchasing Parallels with an SSD so I opted to upgrade after all. But then I had a HD that was failing so I decided to replace it with an SSD. When Yosemite was released I held off upgrading because I didn't want to pay the full upgrade price. But for the things that I just couldn't afford to replace, Parallels allow me to run them in a Win VM without a hitch. Most of the applications I use are either supplied within OSX or I was able to find cost-effective equivalents. (~ 5 years) My big concern when switching to the Mac was.would I need to rebuy a lot of the software that I was using. Verified Buyer Reviewer: Anonymous Location: Kankakee, IL Age: 45-54 Experience Level: Power User Owned Product: less than a month Rating: 4/5 Very good solution if you NEED to run Win ApI have been using Parallels almost as long as I have been using a Mac. This review is from Parallels Desktop 18 Pro Edition for Mac - 1 Year License. I wouldn't recommend this product but I'd recommend dealing with OWC. Definitely not getting this product again. Nothing indicated that to me and considering I couldn't even contact them to buy something. I read on here that they have 24/7 support. Oh and it kept trying to force me to do windows 11. Also I used parallels a while back and supported them. I don't get the same with fusion/vmsphere etc. This isn't my first rodeo with VM on either windows or mac. Oh and they have "ask the community" shtick I believe. I feel parallels format is basically buy our stuff, give us a data to sell (Why do I need an account to talk to a sales person?). ![]() Trying to contact parallels was a nightmare. MaI got this because it was required for a coding bootcamp I was in. Rating: 2/5 OWC is Great But I'm not getting this again.
