Microsoft is shutting down free versions of Windows 365 for the cloud

Microsoft launched its new Windows 365 cloud service earlier this week, and the company has already had to suspend free trials due to demand. Windows 365 lets you rent a cloud PC – with a variety of CPU, RAM, and storage options – then stream Windows 10 or Windows 11 through a web browser. The service reached its maximum capacity after just a day of subscriptions, according to the Verege. “After strong demand, we have reached the testing capacity of Windows 365,” a Microsoft 365 account said via Twitter.

“We have seen an incredible response from Windows 365 and we need to put the free trial on hold while additional capacity is available,” said Scott Manchester, Director of Windows 365 Program Management. Windows 365 is only available for companies at the moment, and there is clearly more demand than Microsoft expected if the company runs into capacity issues after just a day of free trials.

Microsoft launched the service on Monday, with prices starting at $ 20 per month for a processor, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and 12GB of bandwidth if you already have a Windows 10 license.

There are a variety of configurations for Windows 365, including one on the high end that includes eight vCPUs, 32GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage for $ 158 per month.
