Microsoft has extended support for Windows 11 cloud PCs to all Windows 365 customers.
Microsoft has announced that cloud-based PCs running Windows 11 are now available to all users of Windows 365, its new virtualization service. In October at its annual Ignite conference, the company opened up virtual Windows 11 PCs to Windows 365 Enterprise customers (with more than 300 deployments). In a new blog post, however, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 365 Business customers can now spin up Windows 11 desktops too. Microsoft explained that devices hosting cloud PCs will not be required to adhere to the strict Windows 11 system requirements, which will be fulfilled instead by a virtual TPM (vTPM) chip built into Windows 365 itself. Windows 11 is now supported across all virtual desktop configurations with at least 2 vCPUs and 4GB of RAM, of which there are eleven in total. The cheapest – with 2 vCPUs,4GB RAM and 64GB cloud storage – is available for $28.
