Technical requirements for deploying Windows 365

To use Windows 365, you must meet the following requirements:

  • The following are the licenses you will need to use Cloud PC/Windows 365:
    • Users with Windows Pro endpoints: W10 E3 + EMS1 E3 or M365 F3/E3/E5/BP
    • Users with non-Windows Pro endpoints: Win VDA E3 + EMS1 E3 or M365 F3/E3/F5/BP
  • An Azure subscription:
    • Subscription owner (set up network connection)
  • Virtual Network (VNet) in an Azure subscription:
    • Azure VNet must route to a DNS server that can resolve Active Directory (AD) records either on-premises or on Azure.
  • This AD must be in sync with Azure AD to provide Hybrid Azure AD join (HAADJ). Azure AD join (AADJ) is currently being worked on.
  • Microsoft Intune supported licenses (for example, Microsoft 365 E3):
    • Intune Service Admin or a cloud PC administrator

We will cover some of the subscriptions that are required in more detail.
