What is Parallels Desktop?

"Parallels Desktop for Mac is a hypervisor released by Parallels Inc., an alternative virtualization software to VMware Fusion, and works only on Macs." (Wikipedia)

Parallels Desktop, which is defined in Wikipedia with the above description, is actually a utility program that allows us Mac users to install other operating systems on our computers. It allows us to access many programs that do not work on Mac but run on Windows by installing a virtual Windows, and I can say it is the virtualization program that works the most smoothly, stably, and with the best performance on Macs.

It has many features and distinguishes itself from other virtualization programs and stands out due to these features. Now that we have learned about the function of Parallels Desktop, let's look at its features a bit.

Features

Easy Setup

You can install Parallels on your system with a single click after downloading it from the website, and once you've done so, you can install the latest version of Windows on your device via Parallels with just a single click.

The Windows operating system you download and install via Parallels is an optimized version for Mac devices and works very stably. If you want to install other operating systems, you can also perform the installation using an ISO file or any Boot Camp backup.

Touch Bar Support

On Mac devices with Touch Bar hardware, your Touch Bar becomes much more functional than with Boot Camp; you can use it almost as fully as you can on OS X.

View Modes

As well as being able to see the entire virtual operating system, you can also use Coherence mode to view and use the application as if it is just another app in the OS X environment.

Travel Mode

When you enable travel mode while your Mac device is running on battery, the virtual machine is re-optimized to prolong battery life. In this way, you can use it for longer periods even while on battery power.

Apple Chip Support

As we know, Boot Camp doesn't work on M1 and M2 chips, and currently we cannot install an operating system with Boot Camp. Parallels Desktop works flawlessly with chips like M1 and M2.

Easy File Transfer

It allows you to quickly transfer data between OS X and Windows or any other operating system.
