Parallels Desktop 16 launched on the Mac today. It's the latest major release of the software used by developers and others to run Windows, Linux, and macOS applications and virtual machines under macOS. Its most notable offering is full support for macOS Big Sur.

2. Big Sur is prerelease software and I would strongly recommend doing a Time Machine backup of your data and rolling back to macOS Catalina as soon as possible, To address your issue, Parallels Desktop isn't working on the developer beta and Parallels needs to update it to support Big Sur.
3. Nov 12, 2020 Parallels Desktop and macOS Big Sur Apple has at last released macOS Big Sur! First previewed at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2020, and then finally released to the world in November 2020, macOS Big Sur has had the longest beta development cycle of any macOS release in recent history.

While support for Big Sur is the headline feature, Parallels 16 also comes with several new features and improvements. This version claims to launch twice as fast and offers a 20 percent.

According to the Parallels representatives Ars spoke with, Big Sur support was no small task: Big Sur ended support for the third-party kernel extensions that Parallels built on. That meant an enormous amount of work was required to play nice with Big Sur—25 human-years of engineering work, they claimed.

In addition to supporting Big Sur for both host machines and virtual machines, Parallels Desktop 16 has a slightly different look to fit the different appearance Apple has gone with in Big Sur.

While Big Sur support is the flagship feature here, there's a laundry list of small improvements in this release. For example, Parallels Desktop 16 supports 3D in Metal applications when running a macOS Big Sur virtual machine on a macOS Big Sur host.

Printers can be shared between host and virtual machines across operating systems, and support has been added for zoom and rotate gestures on multitouch trackpads for Windows apps that have zoom/rotation functionality. Parallels Desktop 16 also promises faster performance than the previous version; it claims to launch twice as fast and offer a 20-percent improvement in DirectX performance, as well as 75-percent faster 'git status' in Linux virtual machines. Support for newer versions of OpenGL has expanded which Windows apps will run in a virtual machine via Parallels.

Pro Edition users can now name their custom networks, and they can export virtual machines in a compressed format that Parallels claims are a fraction of their precompression size. Also, Parallels has launched a plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio to simplify testing on different OSes.

We asked about any plans for supporting Windows on Apple Silicon in Big Sur, but Parallels reps declined to talk about that, saying they would discuss it at a later date.

Parallels Desktop 16 will be available starting today. The standard edition is a one-time purchase at $99.99, while the Pro and Business Editions require a $99.99 per year subscription. Upgrading from Parallels Desktop 14 or 15 to the new version costs $49.99 once for the standard edition.

That package includes Parallels Toolbox, which was recently updated with new tools and features as well. Those include a screen-break tracker, a unit converter, and show desktop and window manager options for Macs.

I finally figured this out last week and posted it to the Parallels forum. I figured I’d cross post it here as well as many of us use VMs for testing new systems, etc.:

Big Sur Parallels Windows

For those who have been trying to run Big Sur as a guest OS in Parallels, this solution is clean and works:

First, I did this in Parallels 15 for Mac “home edition”. I’m running on a 2017 iMac w/ 32 GB RAM with Mojave as my system OS

Also, I saw almost every different error that people have been reporting and this method avoided all of them (so far, at least)

1. Make an installer DMG from the downloaded “Install macOS Beta” app. The technique to make one is available via Google but I used the one described here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/649774. It’s a series of 6-7 command line strings but not too tough

2. Get the correct board_id and hw_model information about your particular Mac:

• In Terminal, on the Mac that’s running Parallels type (or copy/paste)( that’s a dash and lower case L, then the pipe character, FYI )
• copy the Mac-xxxxxxx text for use below
• then type:
• copy the hardware model string for use below

3. Create a New VM in Parallels. Don’t try upgrading a previous macOS version VM. Also, unless I state otherwise, leave settings @ their default

How To Install Parallel Desktop 16 For Mac Free (Works With Big Sur Update )

• click the + button or select File->new in Parallels control center
• select “Install Windows or another OS from…”, click Continue
• select the DMG you created in step #1, click Continue
• name the VM and check “Customize settings before installation” & click Continue
• Parallels will open its familiar Configuration dialog:
• click the Hardware tab:

0. I set the RAM to 8GB and processors to 4 - but I was being a bit paranoid. I think processors @ 2 is probably OK
1. for Graphics, I set Memory to 512MB with “Scaled” graphics - again, being a bit paranoid, not certain 512MB is required
2. for the Hard Disk, open Advanced Settings, click Properties and increase the size to 128GB. Click Apply, then Close
3. in Boot Order, open Advanced Settings and copy-paste the following lines: (note, Parallels failed to save these lines a couple of times until I copy-pasted them one at a time and hit return after each line - go figure. If your install fails, double-check this setting)

(replace inside the quotes with your mac model from step #2 )

(replace inside the quotes with your mac board_id from step #2)

• close the Configuration dialog and click Continue
• follow the instructions for normal installation going forward
• while it’s installing, call your parents and check in. they worry

  *** Note - do NOT install Parallels Tools at any point. This is what results in the “stuck at black screen”, the “won’t let me log in, just kicks me out” problem and probably other issues. It’s also one of the reasons why upgrading a previous macOS VM fails as it probably already has Parallels Tools installed. Like me, at this point you probably just want to get Big Sur running and can live without PT until Parallels updates it.

Many of the above steps and information was gleaned from other intrepid users posting to various forums and others and I thank you all.
