Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 will be integrated with the Windows 365 Cloud PC. What does this mean; Let's see in detail below:
The connection won't be through a simple remote session through an app or the browser, but you will be able to launch a computer with Windows 11 directly on Windows 365 Cloud PC.
One of the big new features of Windows 11 that Microsoft announced for its corporate customers is the integration of Windows 365 Cloud PC in the operating system. Microsoft describes the her designs on the Windows blog as well as in this post.
Windows 365 is a service where everything is stored in the cloud instead of your local device. Microsoft advertises Windows 365 Cloud PC as a very “safe by design”, and is based on principle Zero Trust.
Windows 365 thus creates a new hybrid category for personal computers: Cloud PC means that the operating system runs in the cloud, and uses both the power of the cloud and the capabilities of the device. Windows 365 is based on Azure Virtual Desktop, according to this Microsoft article, but also uses a simplified technique for virtualization.
Microsoft will therefore fully integrate Windows 365 Cloud PC directly into Windows 11, whereas before the connection could be made after booting Windows 10/11 through an application or browser.
With Windows 365 Boot, a Windows 11 PC will be able to connect directly to the Windows 365 Cloud PC after boot, and the user can set this option as the main operating system.
Additionally, the company plans to roll out a feature it cites as Windows 365 Switch. This will allow a user to instantly switch between their PC running Windows 365 Cloud and their local Windows 11 desktop.
