I have been trying for years to get Parallels to work - across different Macs, different OS versions, and different versions of Parallels - and I'm finally giving up and terminating my subscription. Here's why I'm leaving:
- Some days it opens quickly and with no issues, but about half the time it hangs up endless in one of a few different spots
- When it hangs up there is a 50/50 change it will freeze the whole computer - a hard reboot doesn't always fix the freeze/performance of the Mac
- I've tried everything I could find online and through support but yet it still eats up large (100GB+) of hard drive space no matter how its configured
- Tech support is not helpful at all - no correspondence or article has ever got this to work reliably
