Running Windows on a Mac doesn’t have to be complicated.
In this video, I show how I use Parallels Desktop 26 to turn my Mac Studio M2 Max into a true hybrid macOS + Windows setup — all on one machine, without rebooting or adding extra hardware.
I break down why you might need Windows on a Mac, especially if you rely on tools like Microsoft Excel.
You’ll see how Coherence Mode lets Windows apps run right alongside Mac apps, how switching between Windows 11 and macOS is instant, and how tightly everything is integrated.
If you need access to Windows-only apps, want a cleaner workflow, or just don’t want a second computer on your desk, Parallels Desktop is one of the most flexible ways to run Windows on a Mac.
