    I am using Parallels Desktop on my Mac and I would like to improve the overall speed and performance. Sometimes the virtual machine feels a little slow when opening programs or moving between tasks.

    What settings do you recommend for better performance?
    Should I increase RAM and CPU cores, or are there other options that help more?
    Also, does changing the graphics or optimization settings make a noticeable difference for normal daily use?

    I am mainly using it for regular Windows applications, not for heavy gaming.
    I would appreciate any advice.

    Thank you.
