Get ready to experience the future of cloud computing!

You can obtain the Windows 365 Connection via Microsoft’s business sales outlets as this product isn’t intended for individual consumers, meaning you won’t find it available at retailers like Best Buy or Amazon.

In order to operate this device, it needs to be associated with a Cloud PC that has been provided by your employer for you to access and log in. The Windows 365 Link doesn’t run applications on the device itself, instead, it functions effectively only when connected to a Cloud PC powered by Windows 365.

Using a Cloud-based PC offers several advantages, such as enhanced security and efficiency. Since it doesn’t save data on the local machine, there’s no need to worry about potential threats from local storage. Furthermore, the Cloud PC can be customized with superior processors, larger RAM, or additional storage whenever needed.

Microsoft labels Windows 365 Link as the pioneer of a fresh class of cloud PCs, hinting at their anticipation for additional hardware manufacturers to create devices specifically optimized for seamless connection with Windows 365 in the coming days.
