Notes

Operating system

The 1 vCPU/2 GB RAM/64 GB storage license doesn’t support the Windows 11 minimum hardware requirements. When this license is assigned to a user, they'll always receive a Windows 10 Cloud PC.

Language and region

To change the language settings on an already-created Cloud PC, see Language packs for Windows 10 and Language packs for Windows 11.

Enrolling Cloud PCs in Intune

To enroll devices that have already been created, ask your users to follow this guide for enrollment in Intune.

Windows 365 Enterprise-specific features, like custom images and provisioning policies, aren’t available to Windows 365 Business customers, even if Cloud PCs are enrolled in Intune.
