Change organization settings for Cloud PCs

By default, new Cloud PCs are created with the Windows 11 operating system and the Standard User account type. To change these default settings, use the following steps:

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with a Global admin account.
  2. Go to the Settings > Org settings page.
  3. On the Services tab, select Windows 365.

Organization settings only apply to newly-created Cloud PCs. When these settings are changed, they won't change the OS or account type of existing Cloud PCs.

Edit organization information

Important

You can't change the country or region for your subscription. That's because the country or region where your organization is headquartered determines which services are available to you, the taxes and billing currency, and the location of the data center. To change your organization's country or region, sign up for a new account, choose the desired country or region, and purchase a new subscription.

To change other information on your company's profile page:

  1. In the admin center, go to the Settings > Org settings page.
  2. On the Organization profile tab, select Organization information.
  3. Update your organization's information, then select Save changes. Be sure to fill in all required fields marked with an * to enable saving your changes.
