Parallels Black Friday deals are live: save 20% on Desktop 16 to run Windows on Mac

During the Black Friday sale, a new Parallels Desktop 16 home license now costs $63.99, down from the usual $79.99. Current owners can upgrade to the latest version for $39.99 (typically $49.99). The company also takes 20% off Pro and Business editions of the virtualization software.

The Parallels deals start today and run through December 2, with the discounts reflected in your shopping cart.

With Apple no longer supporting Windows in Boot Camp on Apple Silicon Macs, virtualization software like Parallels will soon be the primary way to run Microsoft's desktop OS on Macs. Parallels is actively working on a new version of its virtualization software that will be natively compatible with Apple Silicon machines. The current version does not yet work with M1 Macs.
