Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac Experimentally Supports Windows 10 Technical Preview and Office Preview

Parallels has announced that Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac (http://parallels.com/desktop) provides experimental support for Windows 10 Technical Preview and Office Preview for Windows 10, which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Users who want to try the newest Microsoft OS can safely and easily do so without the inconvenience of deleting an existing OS or the uncertainty of installing a new and presdumably buggy nonfinal version of Windows 10 directly on their machines.

The Parallels Wizard makes it simple to download the Windows 10 Technical Preview directly from within Parallels Desktop, creating a virtual machine with which to try out everything Windows 10 has to offer, including features like the newly restored Start menu, Photos, Maps app, Cortana and the Windows Store beta which offers Office Preview for Windows 10.

“Parallels Desktop enjoys very strong support among software developers and IT pros. We are happy to deliver all the tools they need to quickly and safely test or run the latest OS and applications, now including the Windows 10 Technical Preview,” says Parallels president Jack Zubarev.

Early adopters who want to try out Microsoft’s latest OS and offer feedback have the option to do so in Parallels Desktop without having to erase their existing OS. Mac users can download a free two-week trial of Parallels Desktop and use the Parallels Wizard to install and try the free Windows 10 Technical Preview.

With Parallels Desktop, users have freedom to choose whichever operating systems best fit their needs — including OS X Yosemite, OS X Mavericks, OS X Mountain Lion, Windows 8, Windows 7, Chrome OS, Android and a number of Linux operating systems — all on one computer.

The latest release of Parallels Desktop for Mac (10.1.4, build 28883) is required for this experience with the Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926).

Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac is available at http://parallels.com/desktop. The standard retail price (SRP) of Parallels Desktop 10 is $79.99, and the Student Edition is available for $39.99. Upgrades for existing Parallels Desktop 8 or 9 customers are $49.99. Parallels Desktop 10 customers receive a complimentary three-month subscription to the Parallels Access™ app (parallels.com/access) for up to five Macs and PCs and an unlimited number of iOS and Android mobile devices.
