Hi,

Regarding Windows 11 licensing for Microsoft 365 F3, what does "VDI only for Licensed Users of a shared device with a Qualifying Operating System (except for Azure Virtual Desktop)" imply? Does it mean that W11 for M365 F3 users is only available for VDIs (not physical desktops) or that VDI is only available for them if using a shared device with a QOS? In case they can use W11 on a physical device, is it restricted to 10.9" or lower screens?

Thanks.

    Microsoft 365 F3 users can access VDI provided the shared physical device they are using is licensed with a Windows 10/11 Pro or Enterprise.

    There is a screen size limitation for Windows 11 licensing with Microsoft 365 F3.

    Devices with screens 10.9" or smaller are typically allowed.
