Azure AD and MFA

We currently are using Azure AD for O365 and will eventually do the AD connect.
With the MFA function does the MFA require you to log in on a desktop then brings up the second authentication?
Does MFA protect the desktop or only the O365 apps?

MFA protects the 365 apps and portal access so you wont prompted till you access the Azure/365 portals or apps.

MFA Desktop protection can managed with Windows Hello:

or with Virtual Desktop:

If the device doesn't have windows hello can MFA still be used to protect the desktop at sign in?
