There are also a number of applications which, while cross-platform, are more feature-rich on Windows. Huge numbers of businesses still develop their own custom, proprietary applications that are only available on Microsoft’s platform – still the most common in offices around the globe. To begin, it seems Parallels primarily sees this as a way for businesses to adopt Chromebooks over their traditional PC or Mac purchases for employees. It’s a clever ploy from Google as it removes the barrier to entry for anyone who has avoided Chrome OS devices in the past over the lack of compatibility with one or two Windows 10 applications they need for work, school, or home use. Switching from Google Chrome to Edge could save money on online shops docx for Microsoft Word, will launch the Windows 10 version of Word by default, rather than the online or Android version of the app when you’ve installed Parallels’ software solution. Not only that, but the Desktop, Documents, Downloads, and other Windows user folders will appear in the Chrome Files app too – so downloading something within the Windows 10 experience, the file will still be accessible to open, edit, or send whenever you switch back to Chrome OS with a four-finger swipe. You’ll be able to copy-paste text and images between all of these too, which should be a huge productivity boost. Using the four-finger swipe shortcut on the trackpad, Chromebook owners will be able to move from a Windows 10 PC experience, to Android games and apps, to Chrome OS tabs and apps, and back again.
By making the Windows 10 window fullscreen, there’s very little difference between your Chromebook and a Windows 10 PC – except for the fact that Chrome OS has baked-in virus protection, better battery life, and the ability to run Android smartphone and tablet apps. Of course, you don’t have to keep Windows 10 running as a small window nestled amongst the other Android apps and Chrome browser windows that you have open.
