Parallels Engineering team continues testing Parallels Desktop with macOS 27 Golden Gate Developer Beta to ensure a stable and reliable user experience.
Note: macOS 27 requires a Mac computer with Apple silicon.
Intermediate testing results show that basic Parallels Desktop functionality works well, and users can:
- Run Parallels Desktop virtual machines of any type on macOS 27 Golden Gate Developer Preview (as a primary OS)
- Upgrade existing macOS 26 virtual machines to macOS 27 Developer Beta (on macOS 26 as a primary OS)
- Install a new macOS 27 Developer Beta virtual machine using an IPSW image file (see KB 125561).
