I was new to Mac OS and still had some programs that I needed to run on window. Parallels was a great solution. You can switch between a Mac and PC. With desktop shortcuts it will switch on its own.

Works great for running Windows 10 on my Mac, but like everything else on Macs, when the OS is updated, a lot of software doesn't work, Hence now I need to upgrade this program as well. This is a much better solution than duel boot, because you don't have to reboot to run windows, and don't need to partition your hard drive

Now I can use both Windows and IOS together, Great for easy access

I did not know anything about this product. But when I talk to a Best Buy employee they let me know how to use this product.Set up is really easy and understandable and I definitely love how you can go from windows to Mac. Especially since I do homework and mechanics stuff. They make this useful in so many ways.

The older versions of Parallels were much more reliable and user friendly. This one crashes all the time and it is much more difficult to move between the Windows and Mac side. It is impossible to share files, photos and docs. Example: and Word documents I save to the Mac desktop automatically open in Pages, even though Word is designated as my preferred program for document files

This is an amazing program to run more than one OS without the need of boot camp. I was able to save a few bucks buy buying the code in a box then digitally.

bought a mac mini for work which needed windows to run this software allows you to have windows running in one window pane on task bar at bottom and still use mac software as well without having to shut down and reboot between mac/ios and windows switches in applications like boot camp makes you however you still need to purchase a windows version (ie. windows 10) in order to run it as it is not included in the purchase price but if you already have an additional license for windows software from a previous purchase you can use that instead.

I liked being able to use Windows on the Mac mostly for my grammar checker. Would be better if I had a 16GB Mac.

For the most part this program allows you to run most windows programs on Mac.

As a new MacBook user, I was a bit concerned about the leap from PC Windows machines that I have used for decades. And although, I love using a Mac, I still wanted to familiarity of a Windows system and the ability to use Windows based software that I already had. This is where I opted for Parallels instead of the Mac Boot Camp feature. There is no need to partition a drive to take full effect of a Windows environment and I can jump into and out of Windows easily without rebooting my system. I love it!

Great software and it comes with windows and office suite ready to use for $70!

Use to be able to purchase software ONCE. Now we only rent it. Wish I knew that before I bought this version.

If your a Mac user but are used to windows then this is a must buy. You can use windows operating system or Mac

Dont buy. Eats up all the space. Takes over other programs and drops others that you need. And you still have to swith back and forth constantly. Big scam.

Amazing never knew about this program, I love it!! Thank you Best Buy

If you ever need to use windows/windows applications but must have a MacBook and just cannot deal with using windows on a day to day basis you must get Parallels. The perfect windows solution for someone who cannot give up MacOS and live with using a windows laptop everyday. Makes using windows on a Mac super simple and does not require to have to boot into a single OS.

They put this on my IMAC computer. Works just like it supposed to

Good Product. Work Great with my MacBook Pro. Love it.

Easy to set up & to use. The software makes it easier!!

The software runs smoothly! It's important to know that the maximum RAM you can utilize in your virtual machine using this edition is 8 GB (I didn't know that while being it). The toolbox that comes with the license is also super useful for converting and even capturing videos from you computer.
