A tablet or a Chromebook handles almost everything, until the day you need Windows software. And an old laptop can stay useful for years if it no longer has to do the work itself. In both cases the answer is the same: a Windows PC in the cloud that your device simply displays. Here is how to use it on each kind of device.
1. The idea in one sentence
The software runs on a Windows server in Paris; your device receives the screen image and sends your clicks and keystrokes. Your device's power barely matters, because the server does the work. Our cloud Windows PC page lists the plans.
2. On iPad and iPhone
- Install Windows App from the App Store.
- Tap +, then Add PC, and enter your server's IP address.
- Sign in with the username and password you received by email.
A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or a Magic Keyboard) make an iPad feel very close to a laptop. Without a keyboard, the app shows an on-screen pointer and keyboard.
3. On an Android tablet
Install Windows App from the Play Store and add your PC the same way. Tablets with a desktop mode (such as Samsung DeX) give an experience close to a computer, with windows and a mouse.
4. On a Chromebook
Most recent Chromebooks run Android apps: install Windows App from the Play Store. If your Chromebook has no Play Store access, use a Linux RDP client such as Remmina in ChromeOS's Linux environment.
5. On an old Windows or Linux PC
On Windows, Remote Desktop Connection is already installed: type mstsc in the Start menu. On Linux, Remmina works very well. Your old computer only displays the screen, which gives it a second life for office work and business software.
6. Which size to choose
| Use | Recommended plan |
|---|---|
| Office work, browser, one business app | Windows Essentials (4 GB) |
| Several programs open, comfortable daily use | Windows Pro (8 GB) |
| Heavy software or many tabs | Windows Business (16 GB) |
Frequently asked questions
What connection do I need?
A stable connection of a few Mbit/s is enough for office work, and 4G works too. Smoothness depends mostly on your distance to the server, which is in Paris.
Can I pick up my session on another device?
Yes. Close the window without signing out: when you reconnect from another device, your programs are still open.
Is the Windows licence included?
Yes, Windows Server is included in the price, with administrator rights.
