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.
