What's going on guys it is Bernardo from the BTNHD
and today is all about parallels desktop 16 for the Mac it's an installation guide plus
the new features that the desktop 16 has released.
So let's get right into it.
Okay parallels desktop 16 for the Mac.
I haven't touched this application for so long, but I've been blessed to actually test
it out.
So I'm doing an installation guide for you guys so what's new with the new version.
These are some of the highlights.
Direct X 11 and OpenGL 3, increased battery life, automatically reclaims this space which
is really huge.
That's really huge.
It has new multi-touch gestures for Windows apps.
That's pretty awesome and enhance printing, let's start the installation part because
it's super simple installing this.
So on your desktop you're going to open up your favorite browser.
I opened up Chrome, and we are going to go inside parallels dot com.
And you are able to click on Download the free trial, and from here we are going to
click on Download Now, you're going to get this nice little prompt just click OK, and
on the lower left hand side of Chrome it's going to start downloading the dmg file.
So it's about 200 megabytes.
Right.
Once it's done, what we are going to do is click on it and it's going to start opening
up or extracting the dmg file.
So once this is completed, you should get this nice little window.
It's pretty simple just double click on install, double click on it and you're going to get
this, we are going to click on open, and you're going to get another prompt installing parallels
desktop.
How easy is that right, and eventually you're going to get this.
it's going to start verifying the parallels desktop because you know the new Mac OS is
pretty tight with security, and then you're going to get the Software License Agreement,
accept it.
And you're going to get a prompt, you need to enter your username and password for parallels
to continue the installation within your Mac OS environment.
Once you enter that information, click OK, it's going to start initializing the parallels
desktop, it's going to want you to give it access to the Downloads folder.
Now this access is for your downloads folder on your Mac, right click OK, it's going to
start parallels desktop, you're going to notice on your upper right hand side that parallels
desktop notification wants you to allow or disallow.
This is really up to you.
If you click Allow then you get all the notifications, right, just pick, you know, pick your poison
and then you get this nice little dialog box, basically stating system extension blocked.
by mistake I wasn't paying attention you were supposed to click on Open security preferences
so I clicked on ok by mistake.
But if it was me You click on ok you are able to just click on security preferences here,
and it will open up just unlock it and click on allow once you click on allow it will continue
starting parallels desktop within your Mac OS environment, and eventually you're going
to get this.
There's a crapload of permissions that parallels desktop needs within your Mac OS.
So when you click on next here.
It wants access to your desktop folder so click OK here, and wants access for your documents
folder, click OK.
It wants access to your downloads folder, again, so click OK here.
Now it might be different within your environment for me, within this video I just basically
gave allow access to all three folders.
But for you, you might think different you don't want parallels desktop to have access
to your desktop or documents.
It's up to you right so pick what you want on your environment.
So once you're completed, click on Finish again you're going to get the same nice little
dialog box right in the middle of the screen, basically stating parallels desktop starting,
and eventually you're going to get this now this is pretty cool.
It's going to download and install Windows 10 you are able to skip this if you want,
but I wanted to see how everything was going to work out, so I clicked on install Windows,
and it's going to start creating the windows 10 virtual machine for me, it's going to start
downloading windows 10 locally, which is around five point 27 gigs.
Once it's done, it's going to want you to give it access to your camera.
So again it's up to you.
You can click on don't allow or ok for me I clicked on OK, eventually it's going to
ask for microphone access.
This is up to you.
For the video I clicked on OK, you're going to see this eventually you're going to see
this which is a good sign.
It's almost done, and you're going to get a nice little prompt stating installation
completed.
If you click on the virtual machine is going to take you here, it wants you to sign in
to your parallels account.
This is how it is licensed.
So if you do not have an account and you don't have a legit license, it's not going to work.
so I picked.
I have the password I entered my username, my password and bam, my subscription ends
in a year.
I clicked on activate my copy was activated click OK, the virtual machine is going to
expand, it's going to automatically launch to parallels dot com basically stating windows
installed successfully.
And that's it, you're inside your virtual machine, and I said guys hopefully you guys
enjoyed this video make sure to hit that thumbs up smash that subscribe button also hit that
notification bell to get the latest and greatest from this guy and I catch you guys on the
next one.
Peace out.
