The basics

What is a personal cloud PC?

A personal cloud PC is a full Windows desktop that runs in the cloud instead of on hardware you own. You rent it as a simple monthly subscription and reach it over the internet from whatever device you already have.

Instead of spending hundreds on a new laptop — and replacing it every few years — you get a powerful, always-on PC for a flat monthly fee. Your files, apps and settings live safely in the cloud, so you can pick up exactly where you left off from your sofa, a café or another country.

It is the same idea as enterprise hosted Windows desktops, but made self-service for individuals: sign up on your own, no IT and no company account required.

FAQ

Personal cloud PC questions, answered

The common questions about renting a cloud PC for your own use.

What is a cloud PC for personal use?
A personal cloud PC is a full Windows desktop that runs in the cloud instead of on hardware you own. You rent it as a simple monthly subscription and reach it from any device — your laptop, an old computer, a tablet or a Chromebook — so you get a powerful, always-on PC without buying or maintaining one.
Can I get a cloud PC as an individual, not a business?
Yes. flexidesktop is self-service and designed for individuals as well as teams. Personal plans start at $19/month, you sign up on your own in minutes, and there is no IT setup or company account required.
Can I run Windows on my Mac or Chromebook with it?
Yes. Because your Windows desktop runs in the cloud, you can use it from a Mac, Chromebook, Linux machine, tablet or phone through a browser or Remote Desktop app — a popular way to run Windows-only software without dual-booting or buying a second computer.
How much does a personal cloud PC cost?
flexidesktop plans for individuals start at $19/month with flat, predictable pricing. You can add Microsoft Office, extra storage or GPU power if you need them, and most plans come with a 3-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Is a personal cloud PC good for gaming or creative work?
For everyday computing, study, browsing and office work it is an excellent fit. For heavier creative workloads such as video editing, 3D or CAD you can add a GPU option for extra power. It is not marketed as a dedicated cloud-gaming service, but GPU plans handle demanding creative apps well.
What happens to my files if my own laptop breaks?
Nothing — they are safe. Your files, apps and settings live on your cloud desktop, not on your local device, so if your laptop is lost, stolen or fails, you simply log in from another device and pick up exactly where you left off.
