When it comes to using Windows from our Mac, in the market we have several possibilities, when Bootcamp is no longer compatible with our Mac. Parallels Desktop and VMWare are the two most used options to be able to run Windows applications on our Mac without have to reboot so that we have both fully functional operating systems on the same computer.
As is usual with each new version of macOS, Apple's operating system for Macs has brought us a series of novelties, novelties that have to be implemented by the applications if they want to be fully compatible. The latest app that was just updated offering APFS support and the new HEVC codec is Parallels Desktop.
With this update, Parallels Desktop reaches version 13.1 and allows us to install any operating system on our Mac and make use of it without having to restart at any time. This update offers support for the new file system designed to improve file system security in addition to increasing operating speed.
But also, version 13.1 of Parallels Desktop also offers support for HEVC codec, a codec compatible with iOS 11 and macOS Sierra and that compresses videos without loss of quality. Compression in most cases is close to 40% compared to previously used H.265.
As usual, the guys at Parallels Desktop have not only added these two new compatibilities, but have also fixed various operational problems and added performance improvements so that the operation of the application is as fast and optimal as possible.
Parallels Desktop for Mac is priced at $ 79,99 through its website. Users who have older versions can upgrade to version 13 by paying 49,99 euros.
