Parallels is the easiest way to install Windows 11 on a Mac and still the best virtual machine for Macs when it comes to performance and integration between macOS and Windows.

Parallels is the only way to run Windows on a Mac that’s endorsed by Microsoft.

As part of the offer, you also get a free one-year subscription to Parallels Toolbox and Parallels Access with every Parallels Desktop subscription.

  1. I totally concur with the comment from smayer97, above. Unfortunately I am kinda stuck with Parallels for the immediate future and had to buy a new license. But it is the last for me. Their customer service blows.

    I used to have 3 total licenses. When renewal time came up, the price jumped from $49 to over $200. I don’t even use all of the licenses, but there is no way to cancel one and keep others. After much back and forth with their support people (to no avail) I wanted to bail completely. They never offered any explanation of the price hike beyond the “we promise to add new features and make it better” line that everyone uses these days to justify expensive licenses. I mentioned that many companies at least offer a discount to customers who have been with them a long time (10 years in my case). Nothing. Just constant reminders to fork over the $200 or lose my stuff.

    Unfortunately I could not get VMWare installed and working in time for an urgent project, so I decided to renew one Parallels license. They never even told me about the new promotional pricing!!! Thankfully I learned about it here. Thank you, MacHow2!

    Meanwhile they keep churning out emails to me with a survey about my “experience” with their team, and asking me if I’m satisfied with how they handled my issue. Believe me, that is one survey I was going to take. But, alas, when I click the survey link, it tells me my issue was resolved, and no further comments allowed. Bah!

    I’ve been a loyal Parallels user for over a decade, and have been singing it praises all along. (Well, except for that Tools thing that reboots at whim, crashing active Teams meetings regularly.) But, after this, I am done. DONE.

    So, buyer beware, as always. And check out VMWare when you get a chance.

    1. Sorry to hear about your problems. Parallels is usually the first virtual machine to be updated to work with new releases of macOS although the price of upgrading has gone up over the past few years. Glad you were able to at least take advantage of the promotion anyway.

  2. Good offer for those who believe in Parallels. Not sure of the significance of Microsoft endorsement, as if to imply it is the only approved solution. VMWare Fusion is just as capable and is a head on competitor. Each has its pros and cons. Best of all, Fusion is free for personal use.
