Apple® announced the next version of the macOS®, High Sierra, on the first day of the Worldwide Developers Conference 2017. They made a beta version available later that day to developers.

Parallels today is launching the latest version of Parallels Desktop, the company’s virtualization software that allows users to run Windows, Linux, and other operating systems directly in macOS. To learn more about Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac and macOS Sierra compatibility, read KB 123971. Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac The latest update of Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac supports macOS Sierra and addresses most compatibility issues. Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac got its official release on Tuesday. The thirteenth version of the Windows virtualization software comes with numerous new features including support for macOS High Sierra and the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Optimized and ready for macOS High Sierra and the Windows 10 Creators Update, Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac allows you to run Windows 10, 8.1, and 7, as well as Linux, Google Chrome OS, and other operating systems on your Mac without rebooting. If you intend to upgrade your Mac to macOS High Sierra and keep using Parallels Desktop for Mac, we strongly recommend you upgrade to Parallels Desktop 14 for Mac. Here is the list of known issues we are working on with the available workaround that we have tested in our lab. Parallels today announced Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac with support for macOS Sierra and the addition of several new features. The company also announced a new standalone app called Parallels.

While beta releases of operating systems are not officially supported by Parallels Desktop® 12 for Mac, they will often more or less work. I have installed dozens of beta releases in Parallels Desktop, and I consider this to be the best method for experiencing an early version of a new OS. Beta releases of operating systems usually have a variety of “issues.” Even if you encounter one of these issues, any ramifications will be limited to only the virtual machine (VM), so this is a safe and easy way to check out a new operating system.

Here is what I did and how it worked for me in creating a High Sierra VM:

1. I made a clone of an existing macOS Sierra VM. (See step-by-step instructions of how to make a clone of a Parallels Desktop virtual machine.)
2. An OS upgrade is a sizable task in a VM, so I set the amount of RAM for the VM to 4 GB in the Hardware pane of its Configuration Dialog.
3. I booted the VM and then installed the macOS Developer Beta Access Utility. This utility enabled me to download the High Sierra installer from the App Store. See figures 1 and 2. This took about half an hour (and times may vary depending on your internet connection speed.)

4. I ran the High Sierra installer. See figure 3. In total, this took about three hours.

5. When the High Sierra installer asked about upgrading the file system to APFS (Apple’s new file system), I unchecked the box. If you don’t do this, the High Sierra VM will not boot. See figure 4. The Parallels Desktop engineers are working now to support APFS in a VM. Stay tuned for news on their efforts.

6. I let the installation process continue to completion. See figure 5.
7. The newly upgraded VM rebooted, and I had macOS High Sierra running in a Parallels Desktop virtual machine. See figure 6.

Of course, there might be other ways to get High Sierra running in VM, but the above steps worked for me.

However, remember that Parallels doesn’t officially support the Developer Preview of High Sierra. If you do create a High Sierra VM, we would like to hear about any issues you experience. If you used different steps than I used, please also tell us what worked and what didn’t work for you. You can comment below or reach out to our social community via Facebook or Twitter (@ParallelsMac). Beta software is beta software, so make sure to backup, don’t use the beta VM for any real work, and be ready for bugs.

Note that I haven’t yet tackled the opposite task: running Parallels Desktop on High Sierra. To do this, I have to find a spare Mac® on which I can install High Sierra, and then run Windows and other OSes on this High Sierra Mac. Of course, I will also want to see if the High Sierra VM will run in Parallels Desktop on High Sierra. This will be like figure 3, but instead of two instances of Sierra, there will be two instances of High Sierra. I am looking forward to telling you of my efforts in a future blog post.

As much as we don’t want to admit it, sometimes we need to use software that (gulp) isn’t available for the Mac. To keep you on the cutting edge of virtualization, Parallels on Thursday announced Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac, with support for the forthcoming macOS Sierra.

Plus, the company’s brand-new Parallels Toolbox app is a set of 20-plus tools and utilities for performing tasks like password-protecting files, recording a screencast, and downloading online videos. These tools, which are easily accessed from the menu bar, are available in all editions of Parallels Desktop 12, but if you don’t need the virtualization, you can get Parallels Toolbox on its own for $10 per year, with a 14-day free trial available starting August 23. The company says that it plans to add more tools to the toolbox every few months.

Parallels Desktop 12 focuses on removing some of the pain points of running a virtual machine—backing up, for example. It includes one year of Acronis True Image cloud backup with 500GB of storage, letting you back up just the incremental changes to your VM, instead of having to back up the whole thing every time. Gamers get support for the Windows 10 Xbox app for streaming and playing Xbox games, and they can even play Blizzard’s hit game Overwatch. And you have Safari or another Mac browser, you can open Microsoft Office documents from SharePoint or Office 365’s websites directly in the Windows versions of Office, instead of in Office for Mac.

Mac

Parallels Desktop 12 is $80 retail. Existing customers of Parallels Desktop 10 and 11 for Mac can upgrade for $50, and can optionally upgrade to the subscription-based Parallels Desktop Pro Edition for $50 per year for life. New subscribers to Parallels Desktop Pro Edition and Parallels Desktop Business Edition pay $100 per year. The Pro and Business editions get some additional features (explained in this chart), plus Parallels Access to remotely access up to five Macs or PCs from anywhere.
