Legally speaking, however, you still need a product key to use Windows, even in a virtual machine.

We’ll point out that you don’t technically need a product key to install and use Windows 10-Microsoft basically gave up enforcing their license requirements with Windows 10, and you can download Windows 10 right from Microsoft at no cost (you’ll probably want it in the form of an ISO file). RELATED: You Don't Need a Product Key to Install and Use Windows 10 If you have a Windows installation CD or USB key handy with a valid license you can use that, otherwise you will need to purchase Windows 10 from Microsoft to create a Windows 10 virtual machine. One more note: purchasing Parallels does not give you a Windows license, or a Windows product key. Parallels Desktop Lite can only run Windows virtual machines if you pay for a subscription, however.

There’s also Parallels Desktop Lite, which is free on the Mac App Store and lets you create both Linux and macOS virtual machines.

A $70 annual subscription gives you access to all updates “for free,” according to the Parallels website.

Upgrading from one version of Parallels to another generally costs $50, and will probably be necessary every couple of years if you keep installing the latest versions of macOS.

This lets you run Parallels on a single Mac.

Purchasing the latest home version of Parallels Desktop costs $80 as of this writing.

How Much Does Parallels Cost?īrowsing the Parallels website, it can be a little tricky to find out what the product actually costs. Parallels costs more (since VirtualBox is free and Parallels is not), but there are hundreds of little design touches that help make running Windows within macOS as painless as possible, and that make setting everything up quick and easy. There are other virtual machine options available to Mac users, including the open source VirtualBox, but Parallels is different in that it’s designed exclusively with Mac users in mind. Virtual machines are complicated, but Parallels makes it reasonably simple to set one up and use it.

You can even combine the two desktops, if you want, and run Windows software right on your Mac desktop from your Mac’s dock. This allows you to quickly switch between the Mac and Windows desktops. Parallels runs Windows within macOS, using what’s called a Virtual Machine. Sure, you could set up your Mac to run Windows with Boot Camp, but that means restarting your computer every time you need to use Windows. RELATED: How to Install Windows on a Mac With Boot Camp

I don’t know the steps to turn off the mapping.Why Use Parallels Instead of Boot Camp or VirtualBox?.

Using one folder for transfer is a good idea, once the main part is solved.

With VMWare, I would just copy a file from Finder and paste it to Windows File Explorer and vice versa.

I don’t like the way it is now I would prefer to keep them separate. That was not true when I used VMWare and Windows on my old Mac.

The user files appear to be mapped, as I can see all my files that I’ve done on the Mac side in Windows File Explorer.

Is there any way to turn the mapping off? I don’t know how, but that would be awesome, especially since the other potential solution of getting the CC app to install on my “network” is beyond my control and will probably never happen.

I installed Windows a few months ago when I was working on an Audition project with another ACP and needed to have it for that project. Why do I need Windows now? Because of the way Acrobat differs on Mac and Windows, especially with Office. But when OpenType came out, I dropped Windows (was that CS2 or CS3?) and have become less and less proficient in it over time. I used to be an expert in DOS and even in Windows, starting with the 2.0 text-driven version. Jeff, this sounds like what I need to do, but I need better steps. I tried the desktop and it was the same - it’s also on the “network”.
