Ever found yourself desperately needing to access your Windows tools, but you’re miles away from your PC?
Maybe you prefer the portability of your Android or iPhone?
Well, I’ve got some Microsoft news that will make you happy… the new Windows app. It really is the game-changer that could make Windows 11 more accessible than ever, right from your pocket.
This app is designed to let you access Windows on Android devices, iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Imagine being able to stream a copy of Windows 10 or 11 from Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Dev Box, Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Service, Windows 365, or even a remote PC.
But what does this mean for you and your employees?
Think about the convenience and flexibility it offers. You can be on the go, yet have all your essential Windows tools at your fingertips. A bit like carrying your office around with you, without the bulk. No more limitations, and no more waiting until you get back to your PC. Plus, the app comes with features that make Windows usable on other devices, like resolution scaling, mouse and keyboard support, and redirection for peripherals like webcams and printers.
Imagine you’re working remotely, in a coffee shop, with just your iPad. With this app, you can use the front-mounted camera as your webcam for that important business meeting. Or connect your iPhone to an external display wirelessly via AirPlay, then use the Windows app to run a copy of Windows on the display while using your iPhone as a touchscreen to control the mouse pointer.
Don’t let that confuse you… just know this new app will simplify the process of using Microsoft services on non-Microsoft devices. It’s flexible, convenient, and efficient – just what we all need.
At the moment, the Windows App is in its preview form and only supports business and school accounts. It’s likely you’ll also be able to log in with your personal Windows account when the app is out of preview.
Will you encourage the use of this one across your business?
