This is the first iteration of Parallels Desktop to bring Apple silicon and Intel compatibility in a single app, a big deal if you need to use Windows programs on your Mac M1. Additionally, you can use Parallels Desktop 17 to run macOS Monterey in a virtual machine. Currently, Windows 11 is currently available in beta through the Windows Insider program. One of the most attractive features of Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac is the ability to run Windows 11 on your Apple hardware.
For those who like to play on their laptops, the ability to run PC games on your Mac is an added bonus. You may also need to run some Windows apps for work. There are many programs you can use that still only work on Windows. Parallels Desktop 17 is the latest version of the popular software that runs Windows side by side with macOS. That being said, sometimes you have to use Windows, even on your Mac. It has a clean, modern look and runs blazingly fast on Apple’s optimized hardware.
