The days when PCs were restricted to running only one operating system are long gone. Today, you can run different versions of Windows simultaneously with others like Linux thanks to a virtual environment. And perhaps no product does better than Parallels, one of the market leaders in this task.

Parallels is a desktop and application virtualization software provider that provides management and distribution platforms for desktop deployments of Apple macOS and Microsoft Windows.

Features of Parallels

Easy setup

Setting up Parallels Desktop is easy. You will need a copy of Windows on a CD or an ISO file to install. Also note, Parallels Desktop allows you to import virtual machines created with other programs like VMWare and VirtualBox. Parallels will then install a copy of Windows or Linux in the amount of time it takes to perform a fresh Windows installation on the PC.

The Transporter feature guides you through the entire setup process, asking you if you want to share files between different operating systems and using an external device, etc. It also ensures that the virtual machine is set up correctly for the operating system you are installing thanks to the preconfigurations.

No need to worry about viruses

One thing to keep in mind is that by running the operating system in a virtual environment like Parallels, you don't have to worry about viruses as much. Any viruses will be confined to the virtual environment in which Windows operates and will not affect your computer in any way. However, you should still install a virus monitoring tool to keep your virtual environment clean, but if you encounter serious problems, you can simply reinstall Windows at any time.

Various options

When installing a new operating system, Parallels Desktop will ask you which version you want to launch when starting it. It also allows you to change settings like how much RAM is allocated to Parallels, hard drive space, and hardware acceleration to keep the balance between real and virtual desktops.

If you need to run multiple operating systems on your PC, you won't regret choosing Parallels Desktop.
