Parallels for Mac is fine. Virtualbox or VMWare for Windows is also adequate.
Not sure which degree of obfuscation you need. With a VM you will hide your hardware footprint if you virtualize this way, but don't forget your network, set a proxy in the middle.
VMware is the best from the point of anonymity. Secondly, if you need some help or support, you can hire a freelancer by posting in the "Hire a Freelancer" section and someone would reach you out for sure.
