Using Parallels for Mac (2022)

By Matthew Whitaker, 18 June, 2022

Hello everyone. Hope all is well.

I'm wondering what everyone thinks of Parallels for Mac these days? I just got an M1 Mac yesterday and want to use Windows on it. I heard that some of the interface needs to be navigated via VOCR, which is not a problem. What do you like about Parallels? How eassy is it to switch between Mac and Windows? Do the screen readers get confused with each other? E.G. Voiceover talking in Windows and your Windows screen reader of choice talking on Mac.
I will say that I did try using Parallels on my old mac I had a few years ago and I did experience issues.
Hope to hear from all of you on this.

Thank you so much,
Matthew Whitaker

Hi there,
Returning Mac user after a good 5 or so years without one. I'm still learning everything again, but was wondering about two things:

Secondly, what's the most reliable way to switch control between the Mac and Windows side with a keyboard? Is it still full screen? I think I managed to get it working but not entirely sure how I did it if I did.
Accidentally deleted the iso without thinking about that breaking the VM, so now I'm just wanting to delete it and start fresh.

I'd do the following,
