Benefits of using Azure Virtual Desktop include:
- Multi-session Windows 10 delivers the cost advantages of server-based virtualisation
- The best service to virtualise Office 365 ProPlus running in multi-user virtual scenarios
- The only service to provide Windows 7 virtual desktop with free Extended Security Updates, giving you more options to support legacy applications while you transition to Windows 10
- The option to bring your existing Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and Windows Server desktops and apps to any computer
- The ability to manage Windows 10, Windows Server and Windows 7 desktops, along with your apps, all with a unified management experience on Azure
- A seamless way to virtualise both desktops and apps
If you’re currently virtualising desktops or apps with Windows 10 or Windows 7, there is no additional cost if you are a Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business, F1, A3 or A5 customer or a Windows 10 Enterprise E3, E5, A3 or A5 customer.
You can access Windows Server 2012 R2 or newer with Windows Virtual Desktop at no additional cost if you are a Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Client Access License (CAL) customer.
Customers can also access Windows 10 and Windows 7 with Windows Virtual Desktop from their non-Windows Pro endpoints if they have an M365 E3/E5 or VDA per-user license.
