System Requirements
Hardware Requirements Platform: x86 and x64 platforms with Intel VT-x or AMD-V hardware virtualization support is a prerequisite. CPU: 1.5 GHz or higher processor. Hardware Requirements Platform: x86 and x64 platforms with Intel VT-x or AMD-V hardware virtualization support is a prerequisite. CPU: 1.5 GHz or higher processor. Memory: 2 GB of RAM (4 GB or higher is recommended). Hard disk space: 150 MB of free disk space for Parallels software installation 30 GB of free disk space for each virtual machine. Size is dependent on programs and data that reside in each virtual machine. Network: Ethernet network adapter Valid IP address
Note: The actual number of virtual machines you can run on a host computer and their performance depend on the resources they require. In general, the more resources your host computer has, the more virtual machines you can run and the higher is the performance of each virtual machine.
