Parallels Client is a remote desktop and application client for macOS that lets users connect to Windows PCs, terminal servers, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) systems from their Mac. Originally marketed as 2X RDP Client, it provides access to remote Windows desktops and applications hosted on Windows servers, Hyper-V, VMware, and Parallels RAS farms. The app supports multiple simultaneous connections, drag-and-drop between local and remote systems, multiscreen layouts, and touch gestures. It is commonly used by remote workers, IT administrators, and enterprise users who need seamless access to Windows-based resources. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

To upgrade from the Intel version, visit parallels.com and download the latest Mac Client installer — the vendor's download page automatically serves the Universal Binary on M-series Macs. Once you have downloaded the new installer, quit any active remote sessions in your current Parallels Client, run the new installer to replace the old version, and launch Parallels Client again. Your saved connection profiles and preferences will be preserved automatically during the upgrade. You should see improved performance and reduced battery drain when connecting to remote desktops, especially during sustained work sessions on M-series Macs.
