TL;DR: Run Windows apps on your Mac without rebooting—Parallels Desktop is $59.99 (reg. $99.99) for a limited time. Running Windows on your Mac used to be a hassle; full reboots, clunky partitions, and hoping Boot Camp wouldn’t break your system. However, there’s a smarter way. Parallels Desktop for Mac gives you the power to run Windows, Linux, or other operating systems alongside macOS with zero reboots. Parallels creates a virtual machine on your Mac, letting you install and use another operating system just like you would on a real computer. That means you can run Excel, Access, or other Windows-only programs without switching devices or juggling complicated workarounds. Compatible with both Intel and Apple M-series chips, Parallels also includes over 30 handy tools, such as video converters, file organizers, and screen recorders. It supports macOS Sequoia 15 and runs optimized Windows 10 and 11 environments. This is a big upgrade over Boot Camp. There’s no need to reboot your Mac to access Windows. You can drag and drop files across systems, copy and paste content between apps, and keep all your productivity tools in one place. Whether you’re a developer testing across platforms or want to play a Windows game on your Mac, Parallels makes it easier, cleaner, and way more efficient.
