Windows 365
What is Windows 365 Cloud PC?
Windows 365 is a subscription-based Microsoft cloud PC service. When you subscribe and set it up, you get a remote Windows desktop that can be accessed in any modern web browser from a PC or any mobile device.
With Windows 365, you’re essentially accessing a remote Windows PC via a virtual desktop system. You can install whatever Windows software you like and access Windows applications and a complete Windows operating system environment through the browser.
The desktop environment is always on. In other words, if you have a bunch of application windows open but want to disconnect (or close your browser), you can rest assured that your desktop will be in the exact same state when you reconnect, no matter which device you connect from.
