Unless you have less than 4GB of RAM, your Mac is more than equipped to handle running two operating systems at the same time although we recommend using at least 8GB of RAM for best results. Parallels runs Windows and other operating systems simultaneously to macOS so any lag will be isolated to the virtual environment. Parallels will not slow down macOS in anyway, Parallels is therefore perfectly safe to use and will never be able to damage your Mac’s hard drive. If a virus damaged Windows in Parallels, you could quite simply reinstall the copy of Windows and your Mac would be unscathed. However, even in a virtual environment version of Windows, you could get a virus although it would be isolated to your virtual environment and Windows installation – it would not touch your Mac’s hard drive. Everything in Parallels is done in a sealed environment from macOS. This means that Parallels can’t actually harm your Mac in any way. Parallels runs in a virtual environment that doesn’t affect your Mac in the same way as the macOS operating system installed on your Mac. Parallels 17 is the only virtualization software to officially support Apple Silicon ARM M1 chip Macs although other virtual machines have beta versions that support it. The latest version of Parallels 17 is another evolution in the product as it’s been re-engineered for some fundamental changes in macOS 11 Big Sur, Monterey and beyond into Apple Silicon.

Parallels 16 and 16.5 brought significant speed improvements plus beta support for M1 Macs. It also allowed Mac users to use seriously graphic intensive apps such as Windows only CAD applications for the first time.

The last major update to Parallels was in Parallels 15 which was a big step-up from previous versions of Parallels because it finally supported DirectX 11 and Apple Metal API which allowed Mac users to play Windows only games such as FIFA, Age of Empires and Fallout. We think it’s by far the most convenient way to get Windows on your Mac because it’s incredibly easy to setup, launches Windows apps or games quickly and allows you to switch between macOS and Windows instantly.

Not only this but you can run just about any other operating system in it such as Linux and Android on it which allows you to play games such as Among Us which aren’t available for Mac. In fact, it can run over 200,000 Windows only apps on a Mac according to Parallels.

Windows is actually merrily running and displaying a desktop that you can't see. The computer isn't hung, just the spinning screen displays instead of the desktop. I have also seen it happen on some Intel-based computers with factory-installed Nvidia chips).
It seems to happen on Skylake processors (eg. I tracked it down to issues with Intel integrated graphics controllers. I have recently had several computers have this problem after the Creator's Update.
