Parallels Desktop 16.5 review: Compatibility and features There’s nothing to customise on the OS side accept the default settings in Parallels and you’ll be looking at a Windows 10 desktop in no more than ten minutes. Microsoft provides the WoA installer in the form of a VHDX image file, which you can simply drag onto the Parallels window and boot to kick off the installation. Happily, installing Windows is almost as easy. This is a nice spread of options to have, but we doubt many people are really buying Parallels to run Linux, especially inside a host OS that’s already built on UNIX. Once you’ve installed the Parallels Desktop app on an M1-powered Mac, it prompts you to pick a guest OS, with helpful links to ready-to-roll images for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Debian 10.7, Fedora Workstation 33-1.2, and Kali Linux 2021.1. Virtualisation can be a complicated business, but Parallels makes it pretty painless. Early versions have trickled out on a handful of lightweight laptops – notably Microsoft’s own Surface Pro X – but the only way to get an installer for your Mac is via the free Windows Insider programme, which means you can expect beta-quality code with no guarantees of performance or stability. The catch is that while Parallels Desktop may be ready for WoA, the OS itself is still a work in progress.
