Windows Virtual Desktop

Hello,

I need to know about Win Virtual Desktop. As a single personal user, can I get this service? Will it be cheaper than Win 10 VM? And if I get an eligible license for Win Virtual Desktop (e.g. MS 365), virtual desktop will be completely free or are there any hidden or other charges?

Thanks

If you already owned a MS 365 eligible license you will be charged for WVD:

  • Compute costs of the Azure VM (charged for the time the VM is running)

  • Costs of the OS disk of Azure VM (monthly 24/7 as long as the VM exists)

  • Outgoing network traffic (from Azure to internet. Is usually neglected in terms of costs)

Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the prompt response.

That means nothing is actually free. You have to pay for everything on top of MS365 price.

Yes. The M 365 price only "includes" the Windows 10 license.

For Windows Virtual Desktop there are the following monthly costs:

  • Compute costs of the Azure VM (charged for the time the VM is running)

  • Costs of the OS disk of Azure VM (monthly 24/7 as long as the VM exists)

  • Windows 10 license costs (monthly 24/7 for instance via M365)

For a Windows 10 VM

  • Compute costs of the Azure VM (charged for the time the VM is running)

  • Costs of the OS disk of Azure VM (monthly 24/7 as long as the VM exists)

  • Windows 10 license costs (monthly 24/7included in the price of the Azure VM)

The estimated prices for both options can be calculated:

The difference between these two option is more or less the access via Azure WVD Web Client.
