A Cloud PC (Windows 365) with Windows 11 on my son’s iPad and some hot chocolate – What’s not to like?
Introduction
A few months back I wrote a blog post about how to configure Windows 365 Enterprise in Microsoft Endpoint Manager, which was released with Windows 10. But now that Windows 11 has become general available, I think it’s time for a quick post where I walk you through the process of how to reprovision your existing Cloud PC(s) to Windows 11.

Reprovision Cloud PC (Windows 365)
If I connect to my current Cloud PC we can quickly confirm that it is running Windows 10 at the moment.
Let’s reprovision it to Windows 11.
Go to https://endpoint.microsoft.com
Click on Devices | Windows 365 | Provisioning policies.
Select your provisioning policy.
Choose the Windows 11 Enterprise + Microsoft 365 Apps image.
Click Select.
Click on Devices | Windows 365 | All Cloud PCs or Devices | Windows.
Select your Cloud PC from the list of devices and click on Reprovision.
Click Yes.
Approximately 1 hour later your new Cloud PC with Windows 11 will be ready for use.
Summary
That´s it folks. – Now you know how to reprovision your existing Cloud PC(s). From a personal perspective, I hope that we in a near future will have the opportunity to perform an in-place upgrade. Happy testing!
