Windows 365 Boot was introduced earlier this year as a new option to transform local Windows PCs into dumb terminals for accessing a remote Windows 365 Cloud PC virtualized image. Instead of utilizing the classic (and free) local user account feature, companies could opt for a pricey monthly subscription to provide secure, remote access to custom Windows 365 installations on a shared PC.
Now, Redmond is taking the Windows 365 Cloud PC concept even further with a new feature designed to almost completely bypass the local Windows installation. With the newly released Preview Build 23601 for Windows 11 insiders, this new “Dedicated mode” for Windows 365 Boot allows users to boot directly into their virtual Windows 365 cloud PC from their “designated company-owned device.”
