What Is Parallels Desktop Standard 20 Mac?

Parallels Desktop Standard 20 is a fast, easy virtualization solution that lets you run Windows 11 and popular Linux distributions side by side with macOS—no reboot required. You launch Windows apps from the Dock, share files with drag-and-drop, and work in Coherence Mode so Windows programs feel native on your Mac.

It’s ideal when you need a specific Windows-only tool (accounting, engineering, ERP), want to test across browsers/OS versions, or keep a clean, sandboxed environment for work and school. If you need advanced developer tooling and extended VM limits, consider the Parallels Desktop Pro Edition. You can also pair Parallels with a genuine Windows key like Windows 11 Pro to activate your VM.
