Notes

  • Azure Virtual Desktop personal desktops and eligible single-session Windows VMs move to Windows 365 Enterprise; pooled host pools are not eligible.
  • Microsoft's limits for the move: Enterprise Cloud PCs, Gen2, a fixed VHD with only an OS disk, and third-party agents removed.
  • The cost comparison comes from the TCO Advisor.
