What if you could use a Windows desktop PC without actually running Windows on your hardware? Microsoft has a solution for you: Windows 365<\/a>, a cloud-based Windows desktop you can access from any device, including Macs, iPads, Chromebooks, Android phones, and Linux PCs.<\/p>\n

To use a Windows 365 \u201cCloud PC\u201d after the service launches on August 2, 2021, you just need a device with a modern web browser. Your Windows desktop in the cloud retains its current state even when you disconnect. If you\u2019re editing an Excel spreadsheet and switch from a Mac to an iPad, for example, you\u2019ll instantly see the desktop state right as you left it when you reconnect so you can get right back to work. It\u2019s just like waking a PC from sleep mode.<\/p>\n

The benefit is clear: You can run Windows app<\/a>lications without running Windows on your hardware. This means access to a full Windows 10 desktop on Macs, iPads, Chromebooks, and more\u2014just as long as you have an internet connection. (When Windows 11 launches, you\u2019ll be able to access a Windows 11 desktop in the same way.)<\/p>\n

At launch, Windows 365 will only be available to businesses, and it will have a per-user monthly subscription cost. Microsoft offers a variety of different hardware configurations at different price points, all hosted on Azure, Microsoft\u2019s cloud computing service. Businesses will be able to easily spin up cloud PCs, manage them, and control access.<\/p>\n

At launch, single-person businesses are eligible. It\u2019s not just for large corporations with thousands of employees\u2014and it\u2019s easy to imagine Microsoft offering the service to consumers in the future, too.<\/p>\n

Other services already offer cloud-based desktop PCs you can access in a browser for everything from gaming<\/a> to productivity, but now Microsoft is offering its own solution.<\/p>\n

For more details on Windows 365, check out\u00a0Microsoft\u2019s Windows 365 Cloud PC website<\/a> or read the company\u2019s announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t confuse Windows 365 with Microsoft 365, a subscription service that is essentially a rebranded version of Office 365 with a few more features.<\/p>\n
