When you connect such a device, you can choose whether you want to use it with macOS or Windows. Some external devices, such as an Apple iPhone, can only be used with either macOS applications or Windows applications, but not both at the same time. Many external devices, such as mice and printers, are available by default to both Windows and macOS when you connect them to your Mac. Parallels Desktop allows you to use USB, Thunderbolt, and FireWire devices with Windows.
