How To Run Windows On Mac

Jun 24, 2020 Apple did demonstrate Parallels Desktop running Linux in a virtual machine, but there was no mention of Windows support. VMWare has asked its community about how they would use its Fusion. Apr 23, 2020 Parallels Desktop 15 lets you run Windows smoothly on a Mac. Future via Getty Images. I made the leap from Windows PCs to Mac late last year, when I bought the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Apr 30, 2019 Parallels Desktop is an excellent way to run Windows apps on MacOS, especially for ordinary users. It's fast in testing, offers tight integration between Macs and guest systems, and supports many. Sep 05, 2018 Thankfully, there's more than one way to run Windows apps on your Mac. You can use Apple's Boot Camp and run a full installation of Window natively on your Mac; Use a virtual machine like Parallels Desktop; Install Windows apps directly with CrossOver and use a Windows app like any other native Mac App. Due to incompatibility in the software architecture between macOS and Windows, it is not possible to natively run Windows apps on a Mac. Put simply, the macOS can't run.exe files. Parallels Desktop is an application for Mac that allows you to run Windows and Linux operating systems and applications (or even previous versions of OS X) on your Mac.

All Mac® users know about the Mac App Store®, and most have probably used it to get an app or two. If you're also a Parallels Desktop® for Mac user, there's another store you should check out: the Microsoft Store.

The Microsoft Store is accessible from Windows 8 or 10—but in all practical terms, this means onlvidy Windows 10, since Windows 8 is used so rarely these days.

The Microsoft Store is for all things to play or consume on Windows 10: movies, music, apps, books, fonts, extensions to the Edge browser, and even hardware. In Apple® terms, it's iTunes®, the Mac App Store, iBooks®, and the Apple Store® all rolled into one. However, in this blog post, I will focus mainly on apps available from the Microsoft Store.

Accessing the Store

Just as Apple has the App Store app, Microsoft has the Microsoft Store app. (See Figure 1.)

Here are some apps I have downloaded from the Microsoft Store, none of which are available on the Mac App Store:

*Available for the iPhone®/iPad® in the Apple App Store.

All of these apps run fine for me on my MacBook Pro® in a Windows 10 VM using Parallels Desktop 14—with the single exception of Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. Microsoft word for mac student version. I used every setting I know to get this app to run with acceptable performance, but in the end, I gave up. (Age of Empires is my favorite game of all time, as I posted back in 2014.)

You can predict whether an app in the Microsoft Store will run in Parallels Desktop by looking at its system requirements from within your virtual machine. (See Figure 2.)

As of today, there are about 800,000 Windows 10 apps in the Microsoft Store, as opposed to only about 11,000 in the Mac App Store. There are a number of excellent apps in both stores, and the Mac user with Parallels Desktop can take advantage of both to find the perfect app for your needs.
