![]() I have to say, Coherence mode is absolutely brilliant. The apps even get their own icon in the macOS Dock, the only difference being they are overlaid with the two red vertical lines of the Parallels logo to indicate they’re virtualised. Or you can run Windows applications in what’s called Coherence mode, where the Windows apps are contained within their own window just like a native macOS app. You can choose full desktop mode, where the Windows desktop appears as a window or full screen within macOS. If you find your Windows installation is gobbling too much space, you can “reclaim” it using Parallels’ control panel (provided you’ve got free disk space in the Windows virtual drive, that is). If you need more storage, it can take it. And although you will be asked how much disk space you want to afford the virtual Windows 10 installation, this is – unlike a Boot Camp partition – dynamic. Like Boot Camp, Parallels handles the Windows installation for you – you don’t even have to have the image downloaded in advance. If you still want access to these and other Windows tools, without having to dive out of macOS and reboot into Windows every time you want to, say, record a Skype call, installing Windows 10 in Parallels Desktop is the way forward. There are many little Windows apps that don’t have direct macOS versions or equivalents.

In Windows, you can’t even see the macOS partition without workarounds. ![]() You can see the Boot Camp partition from within macOS and see its files listed, but you can’t open them. The biggest is that the two OSes don’t play nicely.
