Microsoft 365 E3 vs Window 365 E

Copper Contributor

Hello,

I've been using O365E3 for many years in my company. Last year I upgraded us to Microsoft 365E3.

What are the cons and pros for me of upgrading to Windows 365E?

What apps will I lose? Flow? Other?

Thank you.

Isaac

Microsoft 365 E3 is a set of product licenses, Windows 365 Enterprise is just a "Cloudpc" offering with no product licenses in it like Exchange, Teams, OneDrive etc. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/overview)

does It means that if I will purchase Windows365, I will also need to purchase micorosft 365 separately?

Correct, Windows 365 Business or Enterprise is a VM offering without any Office products. You log into it using your 365 account and if you have a Microsoft 365 license on that.. You can use those products in that VM.
Windows 365 Enterprise is an add-on license. Since it uses Microsoft Endpoint Manager, we will need existing license agreement (which could be M365 E3 or Above)
Your response is very helpful and now I understand it.
So what is the benefit of it?
Thanks,
Isaac

Was this enough information for you?

Perfect response. Now I have a clear understanding of the product.
Thank you.
