"A
subscription for Parallels Desktop 19 for Mac starts at $99.99 a year."
"Starts at" $100 a year? What a joke.
Or you can run Windows 11 Arm on VMWare Fusion on an Mx Mac. VMWare Fusion is free with registration. I am running it right now on a M2 Pro (12 CPUs, 32GB RAM) 16" MacBook Pro.
With careful shopping, you can get Windows 11 Pro for $30. Because Microsoft is desperate to get people running Windows 11. The vast majority of Windows is still Windows 10 and MS is embarrassed.
In fact, I got Windows 11 Pro Arm and Office 2021 for Windows and Office 2021 for Mac for about $130 total. All are fully activated and running fine. Bought them all during early Black Friday deals in November 2023. Full retail would have been around $650
Now THAT is a Black Friday Deal.
