Windows 365 provides personalized Windows Cloud PCs for organizations that want hosted desktops available across browsers, computers, mobile devices, and dedicated access devices. Microsoft offers Business, Enterprise, Flex, Government, Reserve, and other editions for small businesses, larger organizations, shared or occasional-use scenarios, and specialized workloads. The listed Business plans support up to 300 users and provide different combinations of processor capacity, memory, storage, and Microsoft application access.

The Business tiers make the core differences clear. Business Basic includes 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, and access through windows365.microsoft.com. Business Standard keeps 2 vCPU and 128 GB storage while increasing memory to 8 GB and adding desktop Microsoft 365 apps, Outlook, OneDrive, and Teams. Business Premium includes 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, and 128 GB storage, with support for Visual Studio, Power BI, and Dynamics 365. A 30-day trial is available, and the published trial terms require a credit card.

Windows 365 fits organizations already operating in Microsoft's ecosystem. Administrators can provision and manage Cloud PCs through Microsoft Intune or Microsoft 365 administration tools, with integrations for Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Purview, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams. Enterprise users can receive dedicated one-to-one Cloud PCs, while GPU-enabled options address graphics-intensive workloads. Choose it for managed, persistent Windows desktops with Microsoft identity and administration controls; consider another service if you need a free plan or more storage than the listed 128 GB Business configurations provide.
