What I Like with Windows 10 on Parallels Desktop

Download Parallels For Mac For Free

I have used Oracle VirtualBox to install Windows 10 on Mac OS X 10.10, but the display quality and performance is very bad. Even though VirtualBox doesn’t support Windows 10 officially yet, but I can say even Windows 8.1 works with the same poor display on Mac. Compared to that, Parallels handles Windows 10 very well on Apple hardware. The display performance and quality is excellent while running the guest OS in full screen size. It almost looks like running the Windows 10 natively on Apple laptop or like using Boot camp.

Of course we can’t compare VirtualBox with Parallels, because first one is free and other one is a paid software. Incase you need to use Windows 10 on your Mac laptop or desktop very frequently and in better way, I suggest to spend some bucks and buy the Parallels desktop 10, it works great.
