Parallels Desktop shows “components are missing from the operating system of your Mac” on the latest Developer Beta of macOS 11 Big Sur? The reason is relatively easy to explain: Apple changed the version Number from 10.x (was 10.16 in former beta versions) to 11.0, and the Parallels Desktop version seems to have an issue with that! There are various virtual environments you can use for this but not all of them work on macOS Catalina, Big Sur or M1 Macs because some of them, like Wine, are 32-bit applications themselves and don’t work on the latest versions of macOS. We recommend the best way to install 32-bit apps on a Mac nowadays is by using Parallels. When I put a USB terminal, Parallels asks me to choose between MacOS and Windows, then nothing. This is true for a storage key, like a dongle-key for a software under Windows. MacBook Pro 15 2018 - Big Sur - Parallels 16.1.1 (49141). If you have installed Parallels on your Mac and no longer need it or you just need to free up more disk space, you might like our guide on how to uninstall Parallels on a Mac safely. We will share two ways of removal: the manual, long way and the easy, quick way using a special uninstaller.
Big Sur Parallels 15 For Windows
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.
The silver lining: engineers at Parallels® used this time to work in lockstep with their Apple counterparts in an effort to ensure that users will have the best possible Parallels Desktop® experience once migrated to macOS Big Sur.
The greatest amount of Parallels engineering work came in response to a significant change in the underpinnings of macOS Big Sur. As a Mac user, you may have seen dialogs (like the one shown in Figure 1) when using macOS Catalina or macOS Mojave.
The change in the macOS necessitated the re-architecture of Parallels Desktop (seen in Figure 2).

While this figure illustrates what may appear to be a small change, it required the largest amount of engineering work in Parallels Desktop 16 and the equivalent of 25 man-years of engineering effort. This change means that even more of the performance and security of Parallels Desktop will be derived from Apple’s updates to the internal architecture of macOS going forward.

In addition to the work diagrammed in Figure 2, the Parallels engineers have added a number of new features to Parallels Desktop 16, and to bundled products Parallels Toolbox and Parallels Access, including:
- macOS Big Sur support
- 3D support in macOS VMs
