To put some of these claims to the test, we decided to pit Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard against Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to see how these new technologies affected overall performance.
This is a technical post on how to get the Snow Leopard OS running on a Mac in Parallels Desktop 15, so that older Apple software can be run on a newer Mac.

Background: How to fast download on macbook pro.
Snow Leopard, aka Mac OS X 10.6, was released in June 2009, and it represented the last version of macOS to run older PowerPC based software. Its successor, Lion, was released two years later, so back then I wrote a post about how to run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine so you could, at the time, keep on trucking with AppleWorks, QuarkXPress, Quicken, and other apps that did not have Intel versions available.
Apparently, the method I used stopped working as of Parallels 7, but someone else wrote up how to do it — though judging from the comments, that method stopped working well around Parallels 10 or 11, and I myself could not get it to work.
There may be less reason to run Snow Leopard today than there was nine years ago, but I was overcome with nostalgia and managed to get it going. Thanks to the many others on the internet who have written things who helped me figure it out, especially that above writeup.
One goal of this method was to prevent the need for typing any commands in Terminal or engage in similar deep technical arcana. It probably is a few more steps as a result, but it’s also hopefully easier for more Snow Leopard users to complete.

What you’ll need:
Parallels Desktop. These steps have been verified to work on version 15.
A Snow Leopard DVD (and a drive that can read it), or disk image of same. https://treemonsters.weebly.com/dig-n-rig-mac-download.html. Adobe flash player mac catalina download. The physical disk used to be available from Apple’s online store as recently as last year, but no more. Maybe you can still get it if you call them. Or you can find them on eBay and Amazon. You just might be able to find it if you Google “snow leopard 10.6.3 download”, but I didn’t tell you that. (Hey, it’s not like they’re making it easily available to buy any more.) If you go that route, be careful that you download from somewhere that looks reputable.
(Alternative: a Snow Leopard Server DVD, or disk image thereof. If you can locate one, this is about a million times faster and easier, since Parallels supports it.)

If for some reason the link in step 15 no longer works, here’s the code which you could copy and paste into an empty Script Editor window, and then skip to step 17:
Part 3: Install Snow Leopard
Part 4: Set up the installed Snow Leopard drive
Part 5: Finish setting up Snow Leopard

If, sometime after you’ve gotten your VM up and running, Parallels gives you a message about an invalid OS during startup, it’s because a file you need is missing on your Snow Leopard drive. This can happen if the virtual machine is stopped without going through the normal macOS Shut Down process. If this happens: https://butlerclever142.weebly.com/mac-os-catalina-download-to-usb.html.
