Microsoft has created a Windows App<\/a><\/strong> that lets people stream the operating system on various systems, including iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, and web browsers.<\/p>\n

The app effectively turns the Windows 365 app into a hub for streaming a copy of the operating system from a remote PC.<\/p>\n

“Windows App is your gateway to Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Microsoft Dev Box, Remote Desktop Services, and remote PCs, securely connecting you to Windows devices and apps,” says Microsoft.<\/p>\n

However, the Windows App is currently limited to a range of business accounts. This could soon change as the sign-in prompt on the Windows App suggests that one can sign in with a personal account, but the functionality isn’t working yet.<\/p>\n

While the app is said to be available on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, the preview version isn’t available on Android yet.<\/p>\n

Those who use a web browser to access the service can connect without downloading and installing any software.<\/p>\n

The app supports multiple monitors, custom display resolutions and scaling, and device redirection for webcams, storage devices, and printers.<\/p>\n

The dedicated Windows App could signal that the tech giant’s ambitions to move Windows fully to the cloud<\/a><\/strong> have begun.<\/p>\n
