Rent a Windows computer online that is always on and reachable from a laptop, tablet or phone. No hardware to buy, nothing to leave running at home, and administrator rights from the first login.
Under the hood it is a Windows virtual machine online with its own memory, NVMe storage and an unmetered 10 Gbps connection, hosted in New York, London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam.
No contract to sign and no hardware to wait for. Your hosted Windows desktop is ready within minutes of payment.
Pick a plan the way you would pick a PC: more memory and storage for heavier work, a smaller size for everyday tasks.
Pay by card, PayPal or crypto. The machine is set up automatically and your login details arrive by email.
Connect with the Remote Desktop app on any device and your cloud Windows desktop appears, exactly as you left it.
Every plan is full Windows VM hosting with administrator access, NVMe storage and a private IPv4. Pay monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.

Keep one hosted Windows desktop with your files and tools, and open it from home, the office or a hotel.
