When my Windows 10 PC developed a motherboard problem, I needed a way to continue to run the 4-5 legacy programs for which Mac has no suitable alternative. Rather than buying a new PC, I decided to try Parallels on my M1 Mac Mini. It was easy to install, runs everything I need to, and my only wish it that it may sometime be able to run older Windows versions for nostalgia sake. But it does everything I need it to do, and also allows me to play around with Ubuntu. Recommended.
