Most computer s Apple already faced with this situation: the need to use Windows. Whatever the reason (work issues, proprietary software, government systems, among others), the fact is that when the is faced with this need, most of the time they don't know how to proceed.

There are several options on the market to remedy this situation. O Bootcamp, native solution of Apple to install the Windows as the second operating system, it is one of the most popular options and, until recently, certainly one of the most adopted. However, there is currently a major impediment to this option: available disk space. Like most computers Apple now comes with SSD – with 128gb being the most basic and used – this option is no longer viable, since the Bootcamp it needs to permanently allocate a disk space that many times the cannot give up. At that time, the virtualization option appears, since this space can be customized, even dynamically, according to the space used within the virtualized system.

Among the various tools available on the market, Parallels Desktop, by Parallels, is one of the best known, due to its ease of use, optimization of resources and many other factors. Your 3 license options (desktop, Pro Edition e Business Edition) are customized to cover as many s as possible, keeping different cost ranges to fit the needs of the chosen version.

Version 12, recently released and fully in Portuguese, is already updated to work on the latest version of MacOS (MacOS Sierra, which was officially made available on the 20th of September) and allows, among other things, to run the Xbox app on Windows emulated (virtualized) allowing streaming of Xbox One games on computers Apple . Furthermore, for this release, a t work between Parallels and Blizzard – renowned game developer – has made this version of Parallels Desktop ready to the popular multiplayer game Overwatch in a VM (Virtual Machine or Virtual Machine) with Windows No. Mac.

Using the product couldn't be simpler. After ing, just run the program installer and follow the installation steps:
