Hi everyone, I'm planning to buy my first-ever Mac, and I'm looking at the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air. I'm only unsure about a few things - mainly the RAM configuration: 16GB or 24GB? I'm not planning to use Parallels as my main tool, but I'd like to run it occasionally (standard edition) to...

Hello, I'm using Singular within a Linux virtual machine for mathematical research purposes. My calculations run for very long periods, so I regularly take snapshots. These computations require extremely large amounts of memory, and the current 128GB limit is insufficient for my needs. I...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to buy a new MacBook with the M4 chip. For a smooth running of Parallels, would you recommend to get it with 16 or with 24 GB of RAM? Thank you!

Could you please help me understand the typical RAM usage on a MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip running macOS 15.5 Sequoia in the following scenarios? When the system is idle with no applications running. When Parallels Desktop is open, but no virtual machine is running. When running a Windows...

Recently Windows 7 has started giving frequent errors. "Close programs to prevent information loss. Your computer is low on memory. Save your files and close these programs: Autodesk Inventor 2014". I have been runing this software without any issues for a long time but now I have problems...

In a Sequoia beta host + Sequoia beta virtual machine configuration, and perhaps others where Sequoia is involved, there is a bug where the memory usage of the virtual machine service will double on restart, so, for example, your 8 GB virtual machine will take 16 GB. In some cases, the RAM usage...

After I install parallel Desktop in Macbook with Intel CPU, the Memory speed is 2667Mhz, but it shows 667Mhz, and I have no way to fix it, how can I fix this? thanks.

I'm considering purchasing Parallels for my Mac because I've found Visual Studio and Rider to be quite cumbersome to use on macOS. I'm accustomed to the smooth experience of Visual Studio on Windows, so I'm contemplating whether 8GB of RAM will suffice for running Visual Studio smoothly for...

Hi all, I had a very hard time figuring out how to increase the RAM allocation to my VM, but I finally did it. I'd like to share the solution and request for Parallels to make this easier. I'm emulating MacOS inside an M1 MacBook Pro. Upgrade license to Parallels Pro Click Apple menu > About...

I've been happily using Parallels 17 Home for legacy Windows apps for a while. Now I'm trying to check if I can use Parallels Pro for academic research (Pandas, numpy etc). For my project, I need a VM with 70-80 GB RAM and 3-6TB disk to fit the datasets. 8 CPU should be enough. The "Compare...

I am having trouble playing a game in the virtual machine. The first time I ran parallels, I updated the Microsoft software to the latest release and downloaded steam. The program was laggy right from the start, every mouse movement was delayed on the parallels desktop. Once I had a game, I went...

I had reinstall Parallels. I noticed I couldn't put up the Resource Monitor, which I always have up to tell when I need to clear my caches. It tells the CPU and RAM for the MAC and PC. When reinstalled Parallels Tools or Toolbox, and when I pulled up the Resource Monitor it said the PC was...

I have been using Parallels for years running Autodesk Revit and over all I am very satisfied. I recently had to replace my MacbookPro to a new 16" and I wanted to search the internet for tips on how to optimize Parallels (and perhaps Windows) for Revit 2022 but I couldn't find any recent and...

As the title says my Windows 10 VM RAM has a max clock of 667MHz which is obviously making it run really badly. I've been trying to tackle this one for a while trying different combinations of memory settings and I noticed all the questions on the forum related to this have gone unanswered. To...

I know it is stated that this can freeze the main OS (macOS), would I still be able to use Parallels and exit out to macOS after I was finished? Or is it impossible to assign all my CPU and RAM to Parallels? Any information is appreciated. Thanks, Dash

My wife is planning to buy either a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. She will need Parallels and Windows 10 to access a VPN where she uses Office applications. We also have a license for Office 2013, which we will install for personal use. She won't be doing any gaming or video editing. She will...
