![]() Actually, Parallels wants you to use Windows Ink on your iPad: while we couldn't test it on our own, there is a separate Parallels Access app for iOS that lets you run Windows 10 on your iPad Pro, and you can use digital inking on it with Apple's Pencil. Parallels Desktop 13 also supports Windows Ink, which is a surprising addition considering that Apple still refuses to make Mac computers with touch screens. This is truly the best of both worlds, especially if you miss Windows 10 apps such as Groove Music or Photos on your Mac. The new Coherence mode lets you use any Windows 10 app right from your main macOS desktop.Ĭoherence mode will make the Windows 10 VM completely disappear (it still runs in the background), but you can still use any Windows 10 app you want, including UWP apps and Cortana right on your macOS desktop. ![]() If you'd like to completely hide the Virtual Machine though, there is the new Coherence mode, which is probably the most interesting addition in this new release. With the VM running in that mode, you can use four-finger swipes to easily switch between your main macOS desktop and your Windows 10 desktop. You can also run your Windows 10 VM in Full Screen mode, which means that macOS will consider it as a virtual desktop. The new Picture in Picture mode lets you easily monitor all your virtual machines. The small windows are actually active, which means that you can click in any app in your VMs and drag windows, type text and more. With Picture in Picture mode, you can monitor all your virtual machines from your main macOS desktop. The most interesting additions are probably the new Picture in Picture mode and the Coherence. ![]() You can pin Windows 10 contacts on your macOS dock. Clicking on a pinned contact will open the contact card with shortcuts for Outlook Mail and Skype UWP, just like how it works on Windows 10. Indeed, you can pin People Bar contacts right on your macOS dock, and you can actually pin more than three contacts, unlike Windows 10. Interestingly, Parallels Desktop is ready for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update: you can install the latest Insider builds without any issues, and there is a nice integration between macOS with the Windows 10 People Bar. Power users can even customize Touch Bar actions for their favorite Windows app by using the new Touch Bar Wizard. ![]() ![]() For those of you who bought the latest MacBook Pros with Touch Bar, Parallels Desktop 13 also introduces Touch Bar support for popular apps such as Microsoft Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint, Google Chrome and more. If you have a recent Mac, Parallels Desktop 13 brings enhanced Retina Display support for Windows applications running in scaled mode. And if you already used Bootcamp to install Windows 10 on your Mac, Parallels Desktop 13 can use this partition to create your virtual machine. You will still need to activate it with a guenine Windows 10 license, but other than that, the installation process is seamless. When you install it, the assistant will download a copy of Windows 10 on your Mac, which you can use right away (no need to look for drivers, etc.). If you never used Parallels Desktop before, the latest version is really easy to use. While it's possible to install Microsoft's desktop operating system on your Mac hard drive using Apple's Boot Camp tool, running Windows 10 in a virtual machine has many advantages: you won't have to reboot your Mac every time you want to switch to Windows 10, and you have access to the best of both worlds right from macOS. Last month, Parallels launched the latest version of its virtualization software for Mac computers, Parallels Desktop 13, with many improvements for Mac users looking for an easy way to use Windows 10 on their Mac. ![]()
