# Supported Guest Operating Systems

The list of officially supported operating systems that you can install in Parallels virtual machines is available at <https://kb.parallels.com/en/124223>. For Parallels Desktop for Mac App Store Edition, the list can be located at <https://kb.parallels.com/en/123800>.

However, other systems may work too. If you need a system that is not listed by the link above, try to install Parallels Desktop, activate a trial period and install it. If the system doesn't work, please let us know at the Parallels Forum (<https://forum.parallels.com/forums/parallels-desktop-for-mac-feature-suggestions.769/>).

**Note:** Parallels Desktop does not include operating system installation images. You should acquire them separately.
