Microsoft will loan you a Cloud PC if yours goes down

We’ve all had that problem where we hit the power button on our work PC and nothing happens, or there’s some error message, and you have to wait for a lengthy backup restore, or you don’t have a spare. Instead of calling your boss and losing a day of work, your company can use Windows 365 Reserve. Windows 365 Reserve grants users a backup cloud computer for up to 10 days of use per year.

Should your company need to use this Cloud PC, your company can deploy images with apps and settings ready to go that users can access from the Windows App, or as simple as a browser-based experience. Once the PC is deployed, instructions are clear about how long the PC will be available, and when you’re done, you’ll have the option to shut the PC down in case it’s needed in the future.

If you want to join in on the testing of Windows 365 Reserve, you’ll need to contact your account manager or fill out this form to take a peek.
