What is Windows 365 Link?
W365 Link is a new class of endpoint, purpose-built to deliver a seamless W365 Cloud PC experience.
Developed by Microsoft, the device allows users to access their personal or corporate Cloud PC quickly and securely, offering:
With W65 Link, users can power on their physical device and be taken directly into their Cloud PC environment, no extra steps or logins required. This instant boot capability streamlines access to your virtual desktop, reducing downtime and helping users get productive right away, whether working from the office, home, or on the go.
Link eliminates the need for traditional VDI setups or remote desktop configurations. The user experience is seamless and familiar, it feels like working on a local PC.
Built on Microsoft’s secure cloud infrastructure, Link leverages zero-trust security principles. Data stays in the cloud, not on the local device, reducing risk from lost or stolen hardware and ensuring that access is controlled and monitored at all times.
By standardising the user experience and centralising desktop management in the cloud, your IT team will benefit from reduced support tickets, simplified device provisioning, and less time spent troubleshooting.
Windows 365 Link connects directly to your W365 Cloud PC, ensuring an optimised experience with no compromise on performance or security. Whether replacing ageing devices, enabling hybrid workers, or creating secure shared workspaces, W365 Link is designed to simplify endpoint strategy.
