Windows 365 Link - Simply Explained

Episode notes

Windows 365 Link is Microsoft's purpose-built access device for Windows 365 Cloud PCs, designed to deliver a secure, simplified desktop experience without storing applications, files, or user profiles locally. Rather than functioning as a traditional Windows PC, Windows 365 Link acts as a secure gateway that connects employees directly to their personal Cloud PC running in Microsoft's cloud. In this Microsoft Knowledge Nuggets episode, Mirko Peters explains Windows 365 Link in plain English, covering its architecture, hardware, licensing, identity management, security features, and the business scenarios where it provides the greatest value. Whether you're an IT administrator, Microsoft consultant, solution architect, or business decision-maker, this episode explains how Microsoft's cloud-first desktop strategy is reshaping modern workplace computing. UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINDOWS 365 LINK AND WINDOWS 365 CLOUD PCS One of the biggest misconceptions is that Windows 365 Link is simply another compact Windows computer. In reality, the Link device and the Cloud PC perform two completely different roles.
