Parallels Desktop 18 for Mac

Use Windows and other operating systems on Mac without rebooting

  • Use more than 200,000 Windows applications including Microsoft Office on the Mac
  • Download and install Windows on your Intel-based or Apple M Series Mac
  • Copy and paste text seamlessly between Mac and Windows or drag and drop files
  • Develop and test with multiple operating systems in a Mac virtual machine
  • Use Windows applications effortlessly on your Mac without overloading it.

Fast, powerful and easy

You can run thousands of Windows applications, such as Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, Access, Quicken, QuickBooks, Visual Studio and even graphics-intensive games and CAD programs, without performance degradation or reboots.

  • Seamless
    Use Windows and macOS seamlessly in parallel (no reboot required) on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini or Mac Pro. Share files and folders, copy and paste images and text, and move files and content between Mac and Windows apps.
  • Easy setup
    Parallels Desktop automatically detects what's needed so you can get started in minutes! If you need Windows, you'll be prompted to download and install Windows 11 or use your Boot Camp installation if you have an Intel-based Mac. You can also migrate your Windows PC* or use Linux, such as Ubuntu (Intel-based Mac computers only).
  • Fast as lightning
    Graphically complex and demanding Windows applications run effortlessly and without slowing down your Mac. You can run applications like Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, SQL Server, PowerBI, AutoCAD, MetaTrader and thousands more. Play your Windows-only games on your Mac.
  • Choose your view
    Make Windows invisible while still using Windows apps in Coherence mode. Or if the Mac is new to you, you can also set Windows to take up the entire screen so it looks just as if you were using a Windows PC.
