Run Windows 11 Pro on your Mac through Parallels or Boot Camp for $10
TL;DR: Windows 11 Pro runs inside Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or Boot Camp on a Mac, complete with BitLocker, Hyper-V, and Azure AD for business use, and a lifetime license is on sale for $9.97 (reg. $199.00) through September 27.
There’s a straightforward way to run a full Windows 11 installation on a Mac without buying a separate PC, and it starts with the same virtualization tools you’re already using. Windows 11 Pro installs inside Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or a Boot Camp partition just as it would on a physical PC, and a lifetime license is on sale for $9.97 (reg. $199.00) through September 27.
Running Windows 11 Pro instead of Home matters even in a virtual machine because Pro includes the security and business features that many work and school accounts require. A Windows partition used for a specific app, such as a finance tool or an older piece of software, still benefits from that extra layer of security without requiring a second physical machine.
What’s included with the Windows 11 Pro license
- BitLocker locks down the drive with full-disk encryption, whether the install is virtual or physical.
- Hyper-V and Windows Sandbox are both included with the license for running isolated environments or testing unfamiliar apps.
- Azure AD connects the Windows side of the Mac to a business network for identity and access management.
- Snap layouts, DirectX 12 Ultimate, biometric sign-in with TPM 2.0, and Copilot in the taskbar all carry over from the core Windows 11 build.
- Licensing ties to one PC or VM instead of a Microsoft account, and redemption stays open for 30 days after purchase.
Skip buying a second PC just to run Windows 11 Pro alongside macOS. Get Windows 11 Pro on sale for $9.97 through September 27.
