Has anyone been able to get this to work with 17.x.x releases?
I get a checksum mismatch error when installed the patched 17.1.7 release using the above crack. Is there any way around this?

image @yuiOpS Im using this one, totally fine.

What patcher is that? Could you please link me to it?

parallels sometimes has discounts https://prf.hn/l/znPzDkX, if you have chip m1,m2,m3 then you not have other alternatives, and https://hypestkey.com/product/windows-11-home/ - for cheap windows keys microsoft partner, i play valorant without any problems with parallels

I bought parallels 18, was not cheap. Their so called discounts are the same price that I bought it, 55ish USD. Their stated full price is above 100USD. But actually the price you can find with any kind of discount is surprisingly always 5x-ish USD. So yeah, not really a discount is it.

I don't dare use cracks on my mac, I don't trust them on PC, nor Mac anymore. Very easy to get a rootkit nowadays withouth you noticing anything via cracks. But I don't see the point spending 55USD for an upgrade for some additional features.

And for windows 11, you don't need to buy a cdkey. Legit you can register your product, just look for the admin registration method, and your copy will be registered easily. KMS Activation method:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/kms-client-activation-keys?tabs=server2025%2Cwindows1110ltsc%2Cversion1803%2Cwindows81
I did that on my mac/paralel windows 11 as well as on my other Windows PCs, no crack nor cheating or something, its a standard administration method that big enterprises use to register their general installation on devices.

на parallels иногда бывают скидки https://prf.hn/l/znPzDkX, если у вас чип m1, m2, m3, то у вас нет других альтернатив, а https://hypestkey.com/product/windows-11-home/ — для дешёвых ключей Windows от Microsoft, я играю в Valorant без каких-либо проблем на parallels

This post was super helpful — really made the Windows setup process less overwhelming! 🙌

Just to share my two cents — I recently bought a genuine Windows license from SoftwareCaster.com. Was a little hesitant at first, but turns out they’re an official Microsoft reseller. The key was delivered instantly, and activation went off without a hitch.

Used the promo code (WIN30) to get 30% off, which made it a solid deal overall.

Might be useful for anyone else trying to find a legit and affordable option! 🔐

I wanted to share some thoughts for those using Macs with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, or even the latest M4 chips). If you're trying to run Windows or play games like Valorant on your Mac, Parallels is honestly the only real option right now that works smoothly and reliably.

The good news is that Parallels often runs discounts, so you don’t always have to pay full price. You can check for deals here: https://prf.hn/l/znPzDkX

One issue people run into is the cost of a Windows license—but I’ve found a great solution for that too. You can get a legitimate Windows key from a Microsoft partner at a much lower price here: https://shorturl.at/HwMPX. I’ve used it myself, and the key worked perfectly without any activation issues.

As for gaming, I play Valorant regularly using Parallels, and it runs without any problems. The performance is surprisingly good, and it feels like I’m using a native Windows machine.

If you're on the fence about using Parallels or not sure how to get started with Windows on your Mac, I’d definitely recommend going this route. It's easy, affordable, and just works.
