Parallels has launched the latest version of its Windows 10 supporting virtual machine software for Macs. What is most newsworthy about the 'highly anticipated' Parallels Desktop 16.5 for Mac, is that it features full native support for Mac computers equipped with either Apple M1 or Intel processors. So, now you can run this application on any modern Mac, and on M1 powered computers you will be able to experience Windows 10 Arm Insider Preview and its applications. Parallels writes about the new release on its news blog and includes some pretty big claims for the virtualization software's performance.

Developing Parallels for M1 Macs has been a significant software engineering task, as it isn't like a typical application that can sit nonchalantly on top of Apple's OS/Rosetta technology. 'Apple's M1 chip is a significant breakthrough for Mac users,' said Nick Dobrovolskiy, Parallels Senior Vice President of Engineering and Support. 'The transition has been smooth for most Mac applications, thanks to Rosetta technology. However, virtual machines are an exception and thus Parallels engineers implemented native virtualization support for the Mac with M1 chip. This enables our users to enjoy the best Windows-on-Mac experience available.'
There have been over 100,000 Mac addicts testing the Technical Preview of Parallels Desktop 16.5 for M1 Mac and running Microsoft’s Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview. Of course, they also ran a wide range of apps, including Intel-based ones if no Arm-native app was available. Dobrovolskiy said that Paralells received 'enthusiastic feedback about the remarkable performance of both the Technical Preview of Parallels Desktop 16 for M1 Mac and Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview as well as x86 applications and games'. Some games tested include; Rocket League, Among Us, Roblox, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Parallels for M1 Macs also supports Arm-versions of OSes like Ubuntu 20.04, Kali Linux 2021.1, Debian 10.7 and Fedora Workstation 33-1.2.
Performance
Compatibility sounds good, but the performance is perhaps even more impressive. Some performance highlights of Parallels Desktop 16.5 on an M1 Mac are as follows:
- Up to 250 percent less energy used: On a Mac with an Apple M1 chip, Parallels Desktop 16.5 uses 2.5 times less energy than on a 2020 Intel-based MacBook Air computer.
- Up to 60 percent better DirectX 11 performance: Parallels Desktop 16.5 running on an M1 Mac delivers up to 60 percent better DirectX 11 performance than on an Intel-based MacBook Pro with Radeon Pro 555X GPU.
- Up to 30 percent better virtual machine performance (Windows): Running a virtual machine (VM) of Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview on Parallels Desktop 16.5 on an M1 Mac performs up to 30 percent better than a Windows 10 VM running on Intel-based MacBook Pro with Intel Core i9 processor.
Parallels Desktop 16.5 for Mac pricing starts at US$79.99 per annum, but perpetual licences are available for $99.99.

The new version, Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac Business Edition, comeswith all the awesome new features and capabilities of Parallels Desktop 15, including:
- Extensive support for macOS® Catalina features – Users can take advantage of the Sidecar feature in Catalina to extend the screen real estate of Windows applications running on their Mac computer onto their iPad®. You can then use the new Apple Pencil® support to make changes in those applications using Apple Pencil.
- DirectX 11 support via Apple® Metal API – This extremely powerful feature boosts the ability of graphics-intensive Windows applications and games to run on Mac computers much faster and more efficiently. Examples include Autodesk Revit 2020, Autodesk 3ds Max 2020, Lumion, ArcGIS Pro 2.3, Master Series, Madden 19, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition, Crysis 3, Anno 2205, Railway Empire, Space Engineers and Risk of Rain 2.
- More integration points – Parallels Desktop 15 has the greatest number of integration points ever. A few examples include the ability to save Windows passwords in Keychain, drag and drop files from Safari and attach a file from the macOS desktop to a Windows-based Outlook email through a context menu (as shown in the below video).
These are just some of the many features in Parallels Desktop 15. While that might be enough to whet the appetite of the average Mac and Windows user, enterprise power users will be delighted to know that Parallels Desktop Business Edition offers even more.
Some of the hottest new features in Parallels Desktop 15 BusinessEdition include:
- Ability to connect/mount physical disks to a virtual machine (VM) and treat them as internal disks – This means that users can install Windows or another OS on that disk. They can also boot to that installed OS and use non-native Boot Camp® installations.
- Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) support – Some Windows security features now require the presence of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip in order to work. In the virtualization world, the analog to the TPM is (as you might have guessed) the virtual TPM. Bitlocker’s full-disk encryption, the Windows Hello PIN, Virtual Smart Card logons and many others all require a vTPM when used in a VM. With the new vTPM support, companies can now enforce stringent security policies on users who run Windows on Mac (see Figure 1).

- UX consistency throughout the enterprise – Whenever Mac laptops and physical desktops are shared by more than one user, one user may come in and switch to their preferred view mode (say Coherence/Full Screen mode). This can be a problem for the next user who might not know how to switch back to Window mode. In Parallels Desktop 15 Business Edition, it’s possible to lock the display to one view mode and avoid any confusion.
- Support for DNS requests over TCP in Shared Network mode – This allows organizations to support long DNS lists in Active Directory, while retaining 802.1x authentication and shared networking.
- Python 3.0 support – Python 3.0 support should be a welcome development for organizations who use the Parallels Virtualization SDK to query, create, delete and manage virtual machines, networks, port forwards and snapshots.
- Support for archived VM deployment – This allows organizations to use the *.pvmz VM format in a deployment package and reduce the network load and time needed to deliver that package to a target Mac device.
- Convenient ways of sharing support tickets with other members of a Business account – When one admin creates a ticket, all other admins can automatically view that ticket. What’s more, the ticket creator can also add more ticket watchers—and even add regular members of the business account as ticket watchers. Each ticket watcher will then be able to receive update notifications as well as view the tickets in their respective Parallels accounts.
