Congrats on the new machine. Before you shell out for Parallels, [give Lima a try](https://discourse.roots.io/t/introducing-lima-to-trellis-for-faster-local-development/24928/51). It’s experimental still, but it’s much faster than Parallels.

No, you don’t need to buy a copy of Windows; just a copy of Parallels Desktop Pro and [the appropriate Vagrant provider packages](https://kb.parallels.com/en/122843)
