A technology called 'Windows 365 Boot' allows users to sign in to their own cloud PCs with their Microsoft accounts. This allows multiple users to access their own accounts through one machine.

According to the announcement, Windows 365 Boot is accessible with version 22H2 of Windows 11. There are some requirements for use, such as being registered with the Windows Insider Program and having a license for Windows 365 Cloud PC.

By accessing cloud PCs, users can operate secure PCs regardless of the environment at hand and without storing data at hand.

Once Windows 365 Boot is activated, the user's PC will display a lock screen similar to the one below.

Users log in with their Microsoft accounts on the lock screen.

Once the login information is confirmed, the user can seamlessly connect to the cloud PC.

When the user logs off from within the cloud PC, the local Windows login screen is now reflected. You can re-login directly to your PC locally, or another person can use the same machine to login to your cloud PC.

Note that an error will be displayed if the user has not been assigned a license.
