Nerdio: Enhancing the Windows 365 Experience

Thomas Marcussen is a Windows and Devices MVP. He wrote a great post about how Nerdio enhances the Windows 365 experience.

“For years now, many organizations have been looking at remote work situations to assess just how feasible this can be for their operations. Undoubtedly, businesses would want to know the cost implications of establishing such a setup. They’d also want to know the difficulties involved and how security issues are addressed, among other things.

This is why Windows 365 has garnered plenty of interest in recent years. With the Windows 365 Cloud PC, businesses can expect to get powerful virtual PCs that are easy to set up, cost-efficient to run, and highly secure. And when you bring a service such as Nerdio into the mix, you can offer clients an even better experience.”

Rob Quickenden is a Windows and Devices MVP. He wrote a great post on how Windows 365 can help ensure a smooth transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

“Using Cloud PCs, like Windows 365, could be a strategic move as you plan and migrate from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (which you need to do by October 14th, 2025, if you want to avoid paying for Extended Support Updates (ESU).

Here, I discuss the use of Windows 365 as a way to delay the migration to Windows 11, while also enhancing the migration readiness, testing, and user experience in the shift to Windows 11, as well as, of course, the other benefits that Cloud technology can bring to businesses of all sizes, geographies and sectors.”
