Quick overview
Virtualisation software for Mac · One-off purchase · Run Windows on a Mac
Parallels Desktop 20 Standard Edition is a powerful virtualisation solution that allows you to run Windows, Linux and other operating systems seamlessly on a Mac. It is supplied as a perpetual licence for installation on a single device. This version is fully optimised for the latest Mac generations and allows you to use Windows applications without restarting the system.
Applications / Benefits
The software is used to run Windows-exclusive programmes such as Microsoft Office for Windows, specialised business software or games directly on macOS. It boosts productivity through features such as drag-and-drop between systems and Coherence mode, where Windows applications appear as if they were native Mac apps.
Features & Scope of Services
The scope of features includes support for macOS Sequoia and optimisation for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 chips). Version 20 offers improved graphics acceleration, support for DirectX 11 and a simplified one-click installation of Windows 11. The Standard Edition allows the allocation of up to 4 vCPUs and 8 GB vRAM per virtual machine and offers full compatibility with the Apple ecosystem (Sidecar, Apple Pay, Touch ID).
Target audience
The product is aimed at home users, students and freelancers who need a reliable and high-performance solution to run Windows software on their Mac without changing hardware or facing Boot Camp restrictions.
