Parallels Desktop 20 Standard for Mac

Keep Your Mac. Use the Windows Apps You Need.

Some applications simply work better—or only work—on Windows. Parallels Desktop 20 Standard gives Mac users a practical way to access Windows software without keeping a second computer or restarting every time they switch operating systems.

Run a compatible Windows virtual machine alongside macOS and move between your Mac and Windows workflows from the same desktop.

Windows and Mac, Side by Side

Open Windows applications while continuing to use your regular Mac apps. This is particularly useful if your work depends on accounting tools, specialist business software, older Windows applications, or files that need a Windows environment.

Instead of changing devices, you can keep your daily workflow on one Mac.

Made for Everyday Virtualization

The Standard edition is aimed at home users, students, and professionals who need straightforward desktop virtualization without the advanced development features found in higher editions.

Use it for everyday tasks such as:

• Running compatible Windows-only applications
• Accessing business software from a Mac
• Creating a separate Windows environment
• Testing applications in a virtual machine
• Working with Windows and macOS on one computer
