macOS Sierra and Parallels Desktop

With every new release from Apple, Parallels Desktop consistently builds a better product for customers. With macOS Sierra’s release, we wanted to touch base and provide some peace of mind. Simply put: we’ve got you covered. Our engineers have been hard at work since they got their hands on the developer’s release!

Upgrading to macOS Sierra provides huge benefits that make your Mac even more useful and fun while ensuring that you have the latest security features and performance enhancements. Here are two more reasons to upgrade: It’s free and easy!

What are we most excited for with macOS Sierra?

Siri: Our favorite virtual assistant makes her debut on Mac. No matter what you’re doing, Siri is always available to help you become a multi-tasking pro.

Universal Clipboard: Copying from one device and pasting on another? It may be 2016 with technological advances progressing faster than light speed, but this is easily one of the best upcoming features for macOS Sierra and iOS users.

Optimized Storage: Is your hard drive filling up or maxed out? macOS Sierra can automatically store rarely used files in iCloud and keep them available on demand. Additionally, think of all those old files you no longer use. Find and remove them with ease so you have room for new ones.

Auto-Unlock with your Apple Watch: Rockin’ an Apple Watch keeps getting cooler. Automatically log into your Mac when you’re wearing your Apple Watch. No typing. No password required. Seriously awesome.

It’s hard to narrow down our favorites when Apple releases a feature-packed update such as macOS Sierra. Here are some helpful tips before you update:

Make sure your Mac can run macOS Sierra! Chances are your hardware can handle it; Mac computers introduced in late 2009 or later can be upgraded to macOS Sierra. Still worried? Check your Mac hardware http://www.apple.com/macos/how-to-upgrade/#hardware-requirements

We strongly recommend that you backup your Mac before any major upgrades! Whether you choose Time Machine or a manual backup, you can save yourself a serious headache by planning ahead.

We hope you enjoy macOS Sierra and look forward to seeing the incredible projects our customers share with us!
