Mac Parallels - which version to get?

Hi all. I just wondered if the Standard version of Parallels on my 2002 M1 MacBook will be enough? Main difference I can see is number of virtual processors and RAM allocation. My Mac only has standard M1 chip and 16GB RAM so don't think the upgraded versions of Parallels will make a difference anyway. Just wanted to hear your experiences! 

Thanks.

  • Hello Subfrequenz,

    Happy to help!
    The main thing to consider is that your Windows environment inside Parallels should have enough resources to run Articulate 360, with a little extra, so you're not running an environment that meets the bare minimum. You can check out this article for the system requirements needed to run Articulate 360 on Parallels:

      Thanks. It loads okay and can handle the 360 images I am using. I can always upgrade in the future if I need to but nice to start out with the cheapest setup!
