does not work on macbook 6.1 would not open or load said files
Works well and fast on macbook air m1. Wish it had directx12 support/emulation. Price might feel steep, but I normally upgrade laptop every 2-3 years. Im technically gettings windows on better hardward for cheaper. Its safer being on a mac and much easier to use in conjunction with my macos.
Running an M2 Mac Mini and was missing my Dragon dictation software. Decided I'd give this route a shot and so far it's just a non-starter. I can't get my bluetooth headset to connect (Windows doesn't recognize any bluetooth capabillties) and even my USB microphone and webcam just show up as USB devices vs. a microphone or camera (so, I can't select them as default mic from within Dragon). I can't fathom how complicated it must be to create something like Parallels... I was so impressed at how easy things were to start and within minutes I had a window running Windows 11 pro. So, that bit is super cool. It just seems to be quite hamstringed and unusable for what I'd hoped to use it for.
this is the worst crap I ever worked with
Sometimes some courses in my class require business PC software that require Windows. This makes the process a lot easier to use on the mac.
I tried virtualbox and utm. Virtualbox gave me issues with shared folders and froze regularly. Utm couldn't run a visual studio code python plugin for some reason. Both had problems that were just beyond my level of expertise and patience to resolve. Parallels Desktop gave me no issues, and it is fast! And I can use windows OS full screen with no black margins on the side, as if Windows was native to my mac. It is a pleasure to use parallels desktop. A PLEASURE.
I mena it is good but actually now for mac with not enough disk and/or ram is not that well. However I already paid the parallel license
Im using it for a software running on Windows and it's been great, it's been easy to integrate. After one day No problem!! We'll see after months...
I am using this for my college use and so far i love this app. The only problem that i face sometimes is that it is not able to run all x64bit applications. Because i am having apple silicon chip in my macbook.
