    Frequently asked questions

    What is a Windows 365 Cloud PC?

    A Windows 365 Cloud PC is a personal Windows desktop that runs in Microsoft's cloud and is streamed to any device. Each user has their own Cloud PC with a fixed specification, licensed per user per month.

    Do I still need Microsoft 365 if I use Windows 365?

    Yes. Windows 365 provides the Windows desktop; Microsoft 365 provides email, Office apps and file storage. Windows 365 is licensed in addition to an eligible Microsoft 365 or Windows licence.

    Can a Cloud PC be used without an internet connection?

    No. A Cloud PC is streamed over the internet, so it needs a stable connection. Staff who regularly work offline are better served by a managed laptop.
