ABOUT PARALLELS DESKTOP
Parallels Desktop is a powerful virtual desktop Mac application that enables users to run Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems and applications on their Mac with Intel or Apple silicon chips.
Parallels Desktop makes this possible through desktop virtualization, utilizing software technology to create a virtual machine (VM).
This VM functions as a virtual PC within your Mac, allowing you to install and operate operating systems just as they would on a physical computer.
If you enjoy using Parallels Desktop or have an idea you'd like to share with us, please leave a review.
DISCLAIMER
It is not recommended that existing Parallels Desktop on the Standard or Pro version users move to Parallels Desktop App Store Edition. Learn more: https://kb.parallels.com/en/123796.

-------<The best>-----
Great product overall; better buy from Parallels directly
1 day before the trial ended Apple charged my credit card for 80 euros. After my credit card was charged, the product didn't recognize any license and kept prompting to buy it. There was no license key provided in any e-mail from Apple either. Then I contacted Parallels support and after showing them proof of payment at Apple, I finally received a license key. After that it turned out the version they sell you on the App store is some version limited (I'd call it crippled) to 4 CPUs. I asked Parallels support to upgrade my license and rather than charging the 20 euro price difference between the versions, they charged 50 euros. I told them their arithmetic is off and they agreed but told me the only way would be to get a refund from Apple and buy the full product through Parallels. I asked Apple for a refund, but simply got a refusal without any explanation or substantiation. Contacted Parallels again and they say "nothing can be done". Based on this review, which previously was 1 star, I was contacted by Parallels customer service and they resolved the issue by giving me the full (pro) version without charge. I certainly appreciate this resolution. Parallels itself works great overall; the performance on M1 Pro in benchmarks and real use is excellent. There have been some issues with the system clock in Windows 11 which kept displaying the wrong time and even crashing when syncing or turning the automatic time off and on again. Setting it to the MacOS clock resolved this. Another issue I had was after I installed a Windows 11 update, the internet in Windows wasn't working anymore. Wifi on MacOS was on and working fine, but no connection in Windows. Switching the settings in Parallels control center from recommended (shared) to something else and back again resolved this. I hope it will continue to run smoothly as this product is what enabled me to buy the best laptop hardware (M1 Macbook Pro 16 inch) and use the best operating system (Windows 11 is far, far better than MacOS for me).

VRAIMENT SUPER
Awesome but...

Simple d’installation
Pas de question surréelles incomprehensibles ou dont on se demande le sens, setup tres simple, a fonctionné comme espéré dès les premier essai. Permet d’installer Mac OS dans Mac OS, par exemple pour avoir une machine virtuelle de developpement, une de test, une d’acceptation et une de production ;) redemarrables ou reinstallable à souhait … sans jamais impacter l’installation principale. Tres pratique pour les developpeurs d’applications par exemple.
So far so good..
I just installed Windows 11 on ARM on this VM, so far looks pretty nice.
User experience
Excellent experience & move around on windows after so long without hiccups.
