Parallels Desktop for Mac

Parallels Desktop is virtualization software that allows users to run Windows and Windows applications on their Mac computers.

Wharton Computing recommends students on a Mac who need access to a Windows environment do so via the Virtual Lab service. The virtual lab provides access to the same applications found on our public computers in a secure environment.
