  1. Jul 14, 2015 Parallels Desktop lets you configure your keyboard shortcuts to work the way you want both on your Mac and Windows. To activate a keyboard shortcut, simply press a key combination on your keyboard. You can also use these shortcuts by choosing Devices menu → Keyboard and selecting a key combination.
  2. Apr 14, 2021 With Parallels Desktop 16.5 for Mac, users can not only run Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview in a virtual machine on M1 Mac computers but also Linux distributives Ubuntu 20.04, Kali Linux 2021.1, Debian 10.7 and Fedora Workstation 33-1.2.
  3. The main innovation in Parallels Desktop 17, of course, is support for Windows 11 and macOS Monterey. The latter can act as both the main and guest operating systems. The release of both systems is scheduled for the end of 2021, but now you can install preliminary versions of them in a virtual machine.

The company, which has only recently brought Windows 10 on ARM to the Apple M1 Macbook, has told iMore that they are doing “everything that’s possible” to bring Windows 11 to macOS.

“Since Windows 11 has just been announced recently, the Parallels Engineering team is waiting for the official Windows 11 Insider Preview build to start studying changes introduced in the new OS to deliver full compatibility in future Parallels Desktop updates,” said Nick Dobrovolskiy, SVP of Engineering and Support.

Interestingly MacBooks generally do not come with TPM 2.0 chips, with Apple of course offering its own Secure Enclave, but Microsoft has already said that they are waiving that requirement for virtual machines.

With Bootcamp no longer supported by Apple, the only way to run another OS on Macbook is via virtualization, suggesting Parralel’s 7 million MacBook users are likely to expand significantly in number in the future.

    I would have just mounted UBCD on the VM and booted to ntpasswd to unlock/reset the account. But I'm crazy.
