Parallels Desktop 4.0.6630.449744

Parallels Desktop is a powerful software that allows you to run multiple operating systems on your PC simultaneously. Gone are the days when your computer was limited to running just one OS. With Parallels Desktop, you can easily set up virtual environments and run different editions of Windows, as well as Linux, all at the same time.

Setting up Parallels Desktop is a breeze. You can either install it using a copy of Windows on CD or by using an ISO image. Additionally, Parallels Desktop allows you to import virtual machines created with other programs like VMWare and VirtualBox. The installation process is quick, taking about the same amount of time as a fresh install of Windows on a PC.

One of the standout features of Parallels Desktop is the Transporter feature. It guides you through the setup process, giving you the option to share files between different operating systems and use external devices. It also ensures that the virtual machine is correctly configured for the operating system you are installing, thanks to pre-configurations that have already been set.

Running an operating system in a virtual environment like Parallels Desktop provides an added layer of security. Viruses and malware are restricted to the virtual environment and won't affect your actual machine. However, it is still recommended to install a virus monitoring tool to keep your virtual environment clean. In case of serious issues, you can easily reinstall Windows at any time.

Once you have installed a new operating system, Parallels Desktop allows you to choose which version to launch when you start it. You can also customize settings such as the amount of RAM allocated to Parallels, hard disk space, and hardware acceleration to maintain the right balance between your real and virtual desktops.

If you need to run multiple operating systems on your PC, Parallels Desktop is an excellent choice. Its user-friendly interface and seamless integration make it a market leader in virtual environments.
