If you have a Mac at home but need Windows to work in the home office, then this will help Parallels Desktop when running the systems at the same time. The advantage over Apple Boot Camp is that you don't have to restart your computer to switch between macOS and Windows - you can run the Microsoft operating system in a program window. The same applies to older operating systems from Apple (Mac OS X) as well as Android and the like. The current version of Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac is available in Standard, Pro and Business Editions.

Buy Parallels Desktop with a 10% discount
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, quite a few people are currently working from home. If you are lucky, you can work there on a company computer or a laptop provided by the company. If you are unlucky you have to use your private computer to continue to be productive. If you have a Mac, you can use various tricks and cross-platform programs to work with Windows people; but sometimes that doesn't work. Especially when special software is used that is only designed for operation under Windows. And here comes Parallels Desktop into the game - so you can start Windows directly under macOS and even exchange files between the systems.
With the discount code AMY-DLK-6S4 you get a 10% discount when you buy the app. The offer is valid for Parallels Desktop (perpetual), Parallels Desktop Standard (1 year), Parallels Desktop Pro (1 year), and Parallels Desktop Business (1 year). It is important to know that the discount does not carry over after the first billing period has expired.

Parallels Desktop guides and help articles
Here on the blog, Parallels Desktop plays a role every now and then. For example, recently I showed you how to deal with the error "Trying to boot from SATA optical drive 2“Can handle. You will also find with this link a post from October 2019, in which I show you the advantages of Parallels Desktop 15 under macOS 10.15 Catalina. An example: If you use the iPad as the external display of the Mac via the “Sidecar” function, you can also display Windows and Windows apps on it. So you can use the Microsoft operating system on Apple software via touchscreen and stylus. In addition, DirectX 11 support is offered, which allows you to upgrade your free time with video games on your Mac;)
