Version 1.6.1:

1. Parallels Desktop 7 For Mac Old Version
2. Parallels Desktop For Mac Version 7 Full

Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac enables one Mac to handle all your computing needs. Run Windows and Mac OS X side-by-side; even use parental controls to manage access to Windows applications. Now, the most popular utility for running Windows programs simultaneously with Mac programs has been updated in a speedier version that takes advantage of some Lion features. It’s called Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, and it goes on sale Sept. 1, as a $50 upgrade for current Parallels users and on Sept. 6 for new users at $80.

Optimized for macOS 11 Big Sur with a refreshed design, easier setup, and other improvements. Below is the list of the most important fixes:

Big Sur as a host operating system

• Resolves an issue with a Mac crashing after trying to start a virtual machine.
• Resolves an issue with a virtual machine crashing when a user logs in to Windows.
• Resolves an issue with the CPU menu in the virtual machine configuration showing only two menu items.
• Resolves an issue with the 'Unable to pause 'virtual machine name'.' message appearing while deleting a snapshot.
• Resolves an issue with the Parallels Desktop window moving up when switching between the tabs of the Parallels Desktop Preferences and virtual machine configuration dialog.
• Resolves an issue with multiple virtual machine icons in the Dock.

Big Sur in a virtual machine

• Resolves an issue with not being able to upgrade an existing macOS virtual machine to macOS 11 Big Sur.
• Resolves an issue with not being able to install macOS 11 Big Sur in a virtual machine from the Recovery partition.
• Resolves an issue with a macOS 11 Big Sur virtual machine showing a black screen after the Parallels Tools reinstallation.
• Resolves an issue with a macOS virtual machine showing a black screen after upgrading it to macOS 11 Big Sur.
• Resolves a rare issue with a macOS 11 Big Sur virtual machine rebooting when a user logs in.

• Resolves an issue with Installation Assistant showing the macOS 11 Big Sur version incorrectly (as 10.16).

Other improvements

• The Parallels Desktop user interface has been updated to meet the macOS 11 Big Sur style.
• Parallels Desktop meets the macOS 11 Big Sur privacy restrictions. For example, it is not allowed to use Bluetooth until a user gives consent.

Network

Graphics

• Support for DirectX 11.1 which brings better support for high-resolution monitors and support for more applications and games that require DirectX 11.

• Selected text in a PDF document opened in Preview is blacked out.
• Blank interface in the FileSimple application.
• The clock in the macOS menu bar doesn’t look sharp sometimes.
