I love playing with different operating systems including Linux, Windows, and Mac. I like macOS Catalina that’s why I run a Hackintosh Catalina on my Thinkpad T450. It runs very well and I am pretty satisfied with it. Today, I want to install Parallels Desktop version 15.0 on my Hackintosh. I want to share with you how this program performs on Catalina. Parallels is not the only software to run Windows on macOS. You can also use Virtualbox as well as VMware Workstation. But in this particular post, I will focus on Parallels.
There are so many things have been updated to this new version 15.0. You may want to take a look at what’s new on Parallels 15 here. It works flawlessly on macOS Catalina for sure. If you want to run multiple operating systems on your Mac, then you can continue to follow this guide to install Parallels.
If your Mac isn't compatible with the latest macOS, you might still be able to upgrade to an earlier macOS, such as macOS Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, or El Capitan. To get the latest features and maintain the security, stability, compatibility, and performance of your Mac, it's important to keep your software up to date. MacOS 10.15 Catalina, macOS 10.14 Mojave, macOS 10.13 High Sierra or macOS 10.12 Sierra. DirectX 11 requires at least macOS Mojave 10.14; Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac is the fastest, easiest and most powerful application for running Windows on Mac—without rebooting. Just like macOS 10.15 Catalina, the first step is back up all your files and folders as a precautionary measure in case something goes wrong and you lose all your data. You don’t want that to happen, do you? Go to the Apple Store of your current macOS and search for macOS 10.10 Mojave. MacOS Catalina is a new version of macOS that will be released this fall. If you are worried about the upcoming macOS Catalina, we’ll say you should not worry about it. Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac has a built-in feature that allows you to download and test the release in a virtual machine as a guest OS, protecting the OS and all files from.
