A Mac can be the computer you prefer without forcing you to give up the Windows applications your work still depends on. The real challenge is making both environments operate like one dependable workspace.
Parallels Desktop 26 Essentials approaches virtual computing from that practical point of view.
Rather than burying you beneath virtualization terminology or treating every setting as equally important, this guide concentrates on the decisions that affect everyday use: creating a workable virtual environment, running applications comfortably, assigning system resources sensibly, connecting devices and networks, moving information between environments, and keeping everything usable after the initial setup is complete.
You will learn how to work through areas such as:
-
preparing a virtual environment without losing sight of the host computer's needs
-
running Windows applications as part of an ordinary desktop routine
-
understanding processor, memory, storage, and other hardware-related choices
-
managing shared information and file movement more deliberately
-
handling network and connectivity settings with a clearer idea of what they change
-
integrating external devices when your work requires them
-
maintaining the virtual system so that yesterday's setup does not become tomorrow's problem
The emphasis is on coexistence rather than constant switching.
Instead of thinking of the virtual system as a second computer hidden inside the first, you begin to see how applications, files, resources, and connections can be arranged into a workflow that makes sense for the work you actually perform.
That makes this handbook useful for everyday computer users, students, independent professionals, business users, and anyone whose preferred computer occasionally meets a program or task that requires another operating environment.
Keep the computer you want to use. Bring the applications you still need into the same working day—and make the boundary between the two systems something you control instead of something that interrupts you.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
