Parallels Desktop 26 1 Year Key GLOBAL

Run Windows apps on your Mac more easily with Parallels Desktop. Use it to open Windows software, work with business tools, access school programs, run specialist applications, test different operating systems, and switch between Mac and Windows without needing a separate computer. Whether you are working, studying, creating, coding, or managing everyday tasks, Parallels Desktop for Mac helps you get more from one device.

Parallels Desktop software is built for Mac users who need access to Windows, Linux, or other virtual environments alongside macOS. You can use it for programs that are not available on Mac, Windows-only work tools, compatibility testing, or a smoother setup when you want both Mac and Windows apps in your workflow. You may also see it searched as Parallel Desktop, but Parallels Desktop is the product name used for the Mac virtualization software.

What can I do with Parallels Desktop?

Use Parallels Desktop for:

• Windows apps on Mac. Run Windows applications on your Mac without switching devices or keeping a separate Windows computer nearby.
• Business software. Use Windows-only tools for finance, reporting, accounting, project management, spreadsheets, presentations, and other professional tasks.
• Microsoft Office workflows. Work with Windows versions of Office apps when you need specific add-ins, macros, formatting, or compatibility features.
• Specialist applications. Run engineering, design, data analysis, education, and industry-specific programs that may not be available natively for macOS.
• Windows 11 on Mac. Set up a Windows 11 virtual machine and use it alongside your Mac apps for work, study, testing, or everyday use.
• Linux environments. Install and use Linux distributions for development, computer science, testing, server practice, or learning new systems.
• Software testing. Test apps, websites, files, and workflows in different operating systems without needing multiple physical devices.
• Mac and Windows side by side. Switch between macOS and Windows apps in the same workspace and keep your workflow moving more smoothly.
• File sharing. Move files between Mac and Windows, access shared folders, and work with documents across both systems more easily.
• Development work. Build, test, and run projects in Windows or Linux environments while still using your Mac as your main device.
• Remote and hybrid work. Access the tools your workplace requires, even when some of them are designed for Windows.
• Everyday compatibility. Open files, run programs, check layouts, use web tools, and handle tasks that work better in a Windows environment.

Get more from your Mac with Parallels Desktop

Parallels Desktop makes your Mac more flexible by giving you access to the software and operating systems you need for different parts of your day. You can keep using macOS for your usual work while opening Windows or Linux when a task requires it. That means fewer device switches, fewer compatibility problems, and a cleaner way to handle apps that would otherwise be out of reach.

Choose Parallels Desktop for Mac when you want one computer to support more of your workflow. Use it for work programs, school software, development environments, testing, Windows-only tools, or everyday tasks that need extra compatibility. With Parallels Desktop software, your Mac becomes a more complete workspace for both familiar Apple apps and the Windows tools you still rely on.
