Set up virtualization-based workloads support

  • Article

Virtualization-based workloads let customers use the following systems on their Windows 365 Enterprise Cloud PCs:

  • Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
  • Windows Subsystem for Android
  • Sandbox
  • Hyper-V

Requirements

To use virtualization-based workloads, the Cloud PC must meet these requirements:

  • 4vCPU or higher Cloud PC (Downsizing to 2vCPU Cloud PCs will disable nested virtualization).
  • Be provisioned in one of the supported regions for Windows 365. (Nested virtualization isn't currently supported in Germany West Central and South Africa North).
  • Some users might experience a decline in their 4vCPU Cloud PC performance when using nested virtualization. For more information on addressing such performance issues, see Troubleshooting.

GPU Cloud PCs don't support nested virtualization.
