Windows 10 apps to run on Chromebooks, thanks to Parallels Desktop
Non-Windows PC systems are gaining popularity day by day despite the long-standing dominance of the personal computer OS from Microsoft. On top of that, enterprise and individual users are increasingly exploring alternative experiences on platforms like Chromebooks. But there’s a major issue here. Just like other third-party applications, Windows apps don’t currently have native support in Chromebooks. It’s why many of these users may hesitate to move to the lean, web-facing laptops from Google. There’s good news though—Windows apps are coming to Chromebooks, thanks to the Parallels Desktop virtual machine. Mistry explains: If you’re wondering how Google will pull that off, be assured that the Parallels VM will be safely loading the full copy of Windows along with Chrome OS and Android applications. As a result, you should be able to deploy your favorite Windows software on the platform without any complications. Mistry also talked about Coherence, a feature that may let you deploy just the app you need instead of the entire Windows desktop. Have you ever needed to virtually deploy Windows 10 on a Chromebook?
