As you can see in Figure 1, Windows Insider builds work correctly in this latest update of Parallels Desktop. Because it was affecting so many of our users, a new version of Parallels Desktop-version 14.1.3 build 45485, to be precise-which fixes the issue was quickly released. Working with their Microsoft counterparts, the engineers at Parallels were able to determine what was causing this issue. We received many problem reports and emails from these Insiders telling us about the issue. We recently found out that lots of Parallels Desktop users are Insiders when a Windows 10 Insider Preview wouldn’t even boot in Parallels Desktop (or any other virtualization application).

New releases of each come out about once a week, which keeps me pretty busy installing Windows and Office Insider Previews. I use this capability of Parallels Desktop with beta releases of Windows 10 and Office for Windows. In my case it says this with a system thats used the 10130 Insider Preview Upgrade. The VM is like an isolated sandbox that protects your Mac.īeta releases by Microsoft are called “Insider Previews,” and I am both a Windows Insider and an Office Insider.

If a bug trashes the VM (this has happened to me), you just throw away the VM. You can only submit your feedback in forums like this, because the feedback app texts are illegible. By running them in a VM, any potential damage by these beta bugs is limited to that VM-they can’t harm your Mac®. When a Windows 10 insider build just displays colored boxes instead of texts you need a standalone ISO to replace it, because you can’t read the texts to navigate through the update feature. By their very nature, beta releases have bugs and other issues. Are you an “Insider”? Then this post is important for you.Ī feature of Parallels Desktop® for Mac that I use every day is the ability to run beta releases of applications-or even beta releases of entire operating systems (OSes)-in a virtual machine (VM).
