A look at the new features and improvements in the latest version of Parallels Desktop.
Parallels Desktop 26 has been launched with full support for the new macOS Tahoe 26 and Windows 11 version 25H2. This release focuses on providing a more seamless, stable, and secure experience for users who need to run multiple operating systems on their Mac.
Key Features for Individual Users
Seamless macOS Tahoe 26 Support
Parallels Desktop 26 is built to handle the new background process changes and restrictions in macOS Tahoe, ensuring that key features like **Coherence Mode** and setup routines continue to work smoothly. The new version also includes visual updates to match the new “Liquid Glass” aesthetic of macOS Tahoe.
Accurate Disk Space Visibility
Windows virtual machines can now accurately see the available disk space on your Mac’s hard drive. This helps you better manage storage, preventing slowdowns, freezes, and crashes that can occur during large installations or disk-intensive tasks.
Key Features for Businesses & IT Teams
Simplified Single-App Deployment
Parallels Desktop 26 includes new documentation and tools that allow IT administrators to easily deploy and manage a single Windows application on a Mac without giving end-users the full Windows or Parallels interface. This is ideal for specialized workflows and legacy applications.
Jamf Pro Integration
IT teams can now monitor and manage Windows OS updates within virtual machines using Jamf Pro and other mobile device management (MDM) platforms. This gives administrators better control over their virtual environments.
SOC 2 Type II Compliance
The new release has successfully completed a SOC 2 Type II audit, demonstrating Parallels’ strong commitment to security, availability, and privacy. This helps enterprise IT teams meet their internal and external compliance standards.
