Windows 365 Link

Windows 365 Link — Microsoft’s purpose-built Cloud PC device.

A thin client designed for one job: connecting to a Windows 365 Cloud PC. No local data. No endpoint complexity. Managed entirely through Intune.

Windows 365 Link device on a desk

A device that does one thing well.

Windows 365 Link is a small, silent box that sits on a desk and connects directly to a Windows 365 Cloud PC. The OS, apps, and data live in Azure — not on the device. When an employee logs in, they get their full Windows environment in seconds.

There is no local storage of business data. No imaging. No recovery imaging when something breaks. The device is replaced, not repaired — the user’s environment is untouched because it never lived on the hardware.

Prerequisites.

Requirement Detail
Windows 365 subscription Per-user Cloud PC licence from Microsoft
Microsoft Intune Device management and policy enforcement
Microsoft Entra ID Identity and passwordless authentication
Internet connectivity Wired recommended for consistent performance
Microsoft Intune device management dashboard

Environments it’s built for.

  • Call centres and support desks
  • Manufacturing floors and healthcare stations
  • Retail and reception environments
  • Hot-desking and flexible office layouts
  • Frontline workers with shift-based access

It is not the right fit for users who need local compute — video editing, CAD, or offline-first workflows.

How Foetron helps you evaluate and deploy it.

Windows 365 Link sits inside a broader Windows 365 and Intune environment. Getting value from it requires the licensing, Entra ID policies, and Intune configuration to be in order before the hardware arrives.

Foetron assesses your current Microsoft estate, scopes the Windows 365 licence requirement, configures Intune and Entra ID for Cloud PC delivery, and manages the deployment. If your environment isn’t ready, we tell you that — and what it would take to get there.

What an engagement covers:

  • Windows 365 licence sizing and provisioning
  • Entra ID configuration and conditional access
  • Intune enrollment and device policy
  • Cloud PC image preparation
  • Pilot deployment and user onboarding
  • Ongoing managed operations if required
