Parallels Desktop 26 and Apple Silicon: The Advantages

Improved Performance

Parallels Desktop 26 is fully optimized for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, and M3). Enjoy faster snapshots, more stable network connections, and better support for graphics-intensive applications and games. With enhanced virtualization performance, you can get the most out of your Mac, even when handling resource-heavy tasks.

USB Passthrough and Compatibility

Easily connect external devices to your virtual machine via USB passthrough, including external drives, network adapters, and security keys. Version 26 also introduces a preview feature that allows you to run Intel/x86 VMs on Apple Silicon, perfect for older software that isn’t yet ARM-native.

Optimal Mac Experience

With full support for macOS 26 “Tahoe”, Parallels Desktop 26 works seamlessly with the latest Apple updates. Choose whether to integrate Windows apps alongside your macOS apps or stick with the familiar Windows desktop layout. Everything runs smoothly and reliably, without ever needing to restart your system.

New Productivity Features

• Apple Intelligence tools integrated into Word and Outlook, enabling features like rewriting and summarizing.
• OBS Virtual Camera integration lets you use your Mac’s camera directly in Windows conferencing apps.
