Update Mac Desktop
IT departments spend an inordinate amount of time equipping colleagues with necessary devices and software. Add to that, the recurring operational tasks, such as manually configuring systems and software and preparing virtual machines for desktop virtualization, and each day is quickly filled with administrative tasks that detract from higher priority projects. That said, this repetitive activity can be reduced or eliminated altogether by automating VM deployment.
More control over updates
Update policies and the deployment of updates for applications and systems can be a constant headache for the IT department, in particular when interacting with virtualized systems. That is because these actions require an administrator to provide credentials in order to perform system and program updates. Parallels Desktop for Mac Business Edition assumes the role of policy guardian and, depending on the configuration, can pause or allow updates for Windows, macOS and Parallels Desktop. If desired, the IT department can set up their own local Parallels update server. This makes it possible to test updates prior to deployment and saves employees from annoying update notifications and interruptions during their work. All by way of saying, Parallels Desktop is now easier than ever to update. Updates can be installed without administrator privileges, meaning that an administrator password is no longer required.

Why You Should Update Edge. The latest updates for Microsoft Edge ensures the best possible experience on your desktop or mobile apart from patching the security flaws.
In addition, Parallels Desktop has never been easier to install. Unlike previous versions, macOS Big Sur and Parallels Desktop no longer require users to authorize extensions of the system via macOS security settings when installing the product. Installation previously required administrator permissions to enable this step, but this has since been eliminated. That means less manual work for administrators as well as quicker and easier deployment of Parallels.
Use Software Update
- Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu , then click Software Update to check for updates.
- If any updates are available, click the Update Now button to install them. Or click “More info” to see details about each update and select specific updates to install. You might be asked to enter your administrator password.
- When Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, the installed version of macOS and all of its apps are also up to date. That includes Safari, Music, Photos, Books, Messages, Mail, Calendar, and FaceTime.
- To automatically install future updates, including for apps that you got from the App Store, select “Automatically keep my Mac up to date.” Your Mac will notify you when updates require it to restart, so you can always choose to install those later.
