Hi Sven, AVD for hybrid environments will support Windows 11 Enterprise and Windows Server 2016 - 2025. Windows 11 Enterprise Multi-Session is not supported.

Hi Steve,

If I am correctly informed, only Windows Server (2016-2025) is supported for AVD for Hybrid Environment, and not Windows 11, correct?

What about the expected azure costs and required user licenses?

Thanks for your support, Daniel
