New Windows 365 Cloud PC options

Microsoft announce some new Cloud PC configurations for Windows 365 Enterprise and Flex.

Firstly, there are two new 32 vCPU sizes available with 128 GB of RAM and a choice of 1 or 2 TB of storage. This is a significant upgrade over the previous top-end configuration of 16 vCPUs with 64 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Secondly, there’s a new GPU option available, called “Select” which is intended for applications optimised for multimedia. In the same announcement, Microsoft confirm that Windows 365 Flex now supports GPU-enabled Cloud PCs in Shared Mode.

Windows 365 connection methods

The options for accessing a Windows 365 Cloud PC have somewhat evolved over time, with an array of choices available! A relatively new offering is Windows 365 Link, a purpose-built hardware device optimised for Windows 365. Windows 365 Boot is a feature that lets you boot directly into your Cloud PC, bypassing the local experience entirely. For hybrid environments, Windows 365 Switch lets you move seamlessly between your local and Cloud PC. Finally, with The Windows App, you gain cross-platform access from virtually any device.
