I currently have the free trial, but will purchase soon. I know that I can configure how much ram, CPU, and GPU that parallels uses, but I was wondering if after I quit the app, if the resources previously used by parallels will be available for mac os to use again. Or in other words, will Parallels lock some of my ram/resources and make it "For parallels use only" even when parallels is not running. I am not always going to be using windows, and some of my mac apps need as much possible and would like all ram be available again if Parallels is not in use. I do not know if this has been answered before, and please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Hello @Isaac7, Thank you for reaching out. Parallels Desktop will not retain any Mac resources once you quit the application. Regards,
