Managed Windows 365 Cloud PC Services

A Windows 365 Cloud PC streams a full, persistent Windows desktop from Microsoft's cloud to whatever device someone is holding, at a fixed price per user per month. There is no resource meter to watch and no virtualization infrastructure to size, patch, or troubleshoot. The desktop, apps, files, and settings stay exactly where the user left them, whether they sign in from a laptop, a tablet, or a purpose-built Cloud PC device.

Apps4Rent is a Tier-1 Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider for Windows 365 Cloud PC: licensing across Business, Enterprise, and Flex editions, provisioning and Intune configuration, and 24/7 phone, chat, and email support once your Cloud PCs are live. This page covers what Cloud PC includes, current plans and pricing for all three editions, and how the deployment process works.

Why Switch to Windows 365 Cloud PC?

Scalable Turnkey Solution

A new Cloud PC can be assigned and ready to sign into within hours, not days, with the same security profile and user experience across every device it's accessed from.

Simplified Deployment and Management

Cloud PC is easy to deploy and manage through Microsoft Intune. It doesn't require extra virtualization infrastructure, host pools, or specialized training to keep running.

Security by Design

Company data lives in the Microsoft cloud instead of on the endpoint, which removes the need for a traditional VPN and keeps work data separate from personal data on BYOD devices.

What Do You Get With Windows 365 Cloud PC?

Fixed, Predictable Pricing

Every Cloud PC is billed at a flat price per user per month based on its vCPU, RAM, and storage. There's no consumption meter to monitor and no surprise usage spike on next month's invoice.

A Full Windows Experience, Streamed

Cloud PC streams a genuine Windows 11 desktop rather than emulating one, so line-of-business apps, Microsoft 365, and Teams behave the way people already expect, even on an average connection.

A Persistent, Personal Desktop

Apps, files, and settings stay exactly as the user left them between sessions. For teams that share desks or shifts, Windows 365 Link and Flex extend that same experience to a shared device.

How Windows 365 Cloud PC Deployment Works

From licensing to a working desktop, without the trial and error.

1

Assess & License

We review your workforce and workloads, then license the right mix of Business, Enterprise, or Flex Cloud PCs for each role.

2

Configure Intune & Identity

Microsoft Entra ID, Intune enrollment, and single sign-on are set up so Cloud PCs provision cleanly and stay policy-compliant.

3

Provision Cloud PCs

Cloud PCs are sized, provisioned, and assigned to users, with apps and settings configured before anyone signs in.

4

Support & Optimize

Post-launch, we monitor utilization, right-size Cloud PCs as needs change, and stay available 24/7 for end-user support.

What Is Windows 365 Cloud PC?

Windows 365 Cloud PC is Microsoft's cloud-hosted, per-user Windows desktop service that streams a full Windows 11 environment to any device over the internet, billed at a fixed price per user per month rather than by resource consumption. Each Cloud PC is a persistent virtual machine assigned to one person (or, on Flex, shared across a small group), so apps, files, and settings stay exactly as the user left them between sessions.

Cloud PC differs from a traditional VDI deployment in what it asks of your IT team. There's no host pool to size, no image to maintain across a fleet of session hosts, and no separate connection broker to license. Microsoft runs that layer; you choose an edition, a size, and a user.

Windows 365 comes in three editions. Business suits organizations up to 300 users with no Azure subscription required. Enterprise adds unlimited users and deeper Intune integration for larger organizations. Flex (formerly Frontline) licenses Cloud PCs per device rather than per user, for shift workers and part-time staff who don't need a dedicated seat.

When Cloud PC Makes Sense

1

Your workforce is hybrid or fully remote

Cloud PC gives every user the same desktop and app access regardless of where they're signing in from.

2

You support BYOD without wanting company data on personal devices

Work stays inside the Cloud PC session; nothing is cached to a personal laptop or tablet.

3

You have shift workers, seasonal staff, or contractors

Windows 365 Flex licenses a Cloud PC per device rather than per person, which fits non-overlapping shifts well.

4

Your current VDI environment has become expensive to run

FYour current VDI environment has become expensive to run — Fixed per-user pricing replaces the infrastructure sizing and consumption forecasting an in-house virtual desktop platform requires.

Is a Managed Windows 365 Provider Right for You?

Windows 365 is easier to run than traditional VDI, but licensing, Intune, and identity still need to be set up correctly the first time.

A generic IT consultant can turn on Windows 365, but decisions like which edition fits your headcount, whether Flex or dedicated licensing costs less for a shift-based team, and how to configure Conditional Access without locking users out are where a Windows 365-focused CSP earns its cost. If your team also runs Azure Virtual Desktop or is deciding between the two, our Windows 365 vs Azure Virtual Desktop comparison and managed AVD services cover that decision directly.

Windows 365 Business vs Enterprise vs Flex

The three editions solve different problems, and picking the wrong one is the most common Windows 365 licensing mistake we see. Windows 365 Business is built for organizations up to 300 users and needs no Azure subscription or Intune license to get started, which makes it the fastest path to a working Cloud PC for a small or mid-sized team. Windows 365 Enterprise removes the 300-user ceiling and is managed centrally through Microsoft Intune, which is why it requires an Azure subscription with a properly configured network and Microsoft Entra ID already in place.

Windows 365 Flex, renamed from Windows 365 Frontline in 2026, licenses a Cloud PC per device instead of per person. In dedicated mode, one Flex license covers up to three Cloud PCs assigned to different users, with only one active at a time, which is built for non-overlapping shifts rather than concurrent use. Flex also supports a shared mode, where a single Cloud PC or a published Cloud App is shared by a group of users one at a time.

What we handle beyond the license

Resizing a Cloud PC's vCPU, RAM, or storage after it's provisioned is possible in place, but it isn't automatic, and storage can be increased but not reduced. We size Cloud PCs against real usage data before assigning licenses so you aren't paying for capacity nobody uses. If you're moving off Citrix or VMware Horizon rather than starting fresh, our guides to migrating from Citrix to Windows 365 and migrating from VMware to Windows 365 cover what carries over and what has to be rebuilt.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How does Windows 365 Cloud PC work?

    Windows 365 Cloud PC streams a persistent Windows 11 desktop from Microsoft's cloud to whatever device a user signs in from, whether that's a Windows PC, a Mac, an iPad, a Chromebook, a phone, or a browser. The desktop, apps, files, and settings stay exactly as the user left them between sessions, and access works even on a modest internet connection because the actual computing happens in Microsoft's datacenters rather than on the local device.

  2. How much does Windows 365 Cloud PC cost?

    Windows 365 Business starts at $25.60 per user per month for a 2 vCPU, 4 GB, 64 GB configuration, and Windows 365 Enterprise starts at $28.00 per user per month for the same configuration. Windows 365 Flex is licensed per device rather than per user, starting at $42.00 per license per month for up to three non-concurrent users. Prices scale with vCPU, RAM, and storage; see the full plan tables above for every configuration Microsoft currently offers.

  3. What is the difference between Windows 365 Business, Enterprise, and Flex?

    Windows 365 Business is built for organizations up to 300 users and needs no Azure subscription or Intune license to get started. Windows 365 Enterprise removes the 300-user cap and is managed centrally through Microsoft Intune, which requires an Azure subscription with a configured network and Microsoft Entra ID. Windows 365 Flex, renamed from Windows 365 Frontline in 2026, licenses a Cloud PC per device instead of per person, with each license covering up to three Cloud PCs used by different people at different times.

  4. What is Windows Hybrid Benefit?

    Windows Hybrid Benefit is a Microsoft discount for Windows 365 Business customers who already hold a Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro license on their primary device. Eligible organizations can save up to 16% on their Windows 365 Business subscription; actual savings vary by purchase geography and Cloud PC configuration. Ask us to check your eligibility before you license new Cloud PCs.

  5. What is the difference between Windows 365 Cloud PC and Azure Virtual Desktop?

    Windows 365 Cloud PC is billed at a fixed price per user per month, while Azure Virtual Desktop is billed based on the underlying Azure compute and storage your session hosts consume. Cloud PC is easier to provision and manage since Microsoft handles the underlying infrastructure, while Azure Virtual Desktop offers more configuration flexibility for teams willing to size and manage that infrastructure themselves. See our Windows 365 vs Azure Virtual Desktop comparison for a fuller breakdown.

  6. What are the requirements for Windows 365 Enterprise?

    Windows 365 Enterprise users need a Windows 11 Enterprise or Windows 10 Enterprise license, a Microsoft Intune license, and a Microsoft Entra ID P1 license, each assigned per Cloud PC user. Your organization also needs an Azure subscription with a virtual network configured for Microsoft Entra ID connectivity, and owner rights on that subscription during setup. Windows 365 Business has no such prerequisites.

  7. Can I resize a Windows 365 Cloud PC after it's provisioned?

    Windows 365 Enterprise and Flex Cloud PCs can be resized in place to increase vCPU, RAM, or storage without losing user data, though storage can only be increased, never reduced. Downgrading an existing Cloud PC to a smaller configuration isn't supported; a new, smaller Cloud PC has to be provisioned instead. It also isn't possible to convert a Windows 365 Business license into an Enterprise or Flex license.

  8. What is Windows 365 Flex licensing, and how does it differ from dedicated Cloud PCs?

    Windows 365 Flex licenses are assigned per device rather than per user. In dedicated mode, one license covers up to three Cloud PCs assigned to different people, with only one active at a time, which fits non-overlapping shifts. In shared mode, one license covers a single Cloud PC or published Cloud App shared by a group of users, one at a time. Business and Enterprise licenses, by contrast, are assigned one Cloud PC per user.

  9. Is Windows 365 Cloud PC available for personal use?

    No. Windows 365 subscriptions are licensed for business use, from a one-person company to enterprises with thousands of employees. They aren't available as a consumer product for personal, non-business use.

  10. What is Windows 365 Link?

    Windows 365 Link is Microsoft's purpose-built Cloud PC device: a small, fanless desktop endpoint with no local apps or data storage, designed to connect straight to a Windows 365 Cloud PC. It suits shared desks, front-of-house roles, and any setup where you want a desktop that holds nothing worth stealing. See our full guide to Windows 365 Link for specs, requirements, and deployment steps.

  11. Why choose Apps4Rent for Windows 365 Cloud PC?

    Apps4Rent is a Tier-1 Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider that licenses, provisions, and manages Windows 365 Cloud PCs across all three editions.
