FAQs
Is Windows App the same as Microsoft Remote Desktop?
Yes in purpose. Microsoft renamed the Remote Desktop client to Windows App, and existing installs were updated in place.
Do I need a Microsoft account to connect?
Not for a direct connection to a PC you own, where you sign in with that computer account. Cloud services such as Windows 365 do need an assigned account.
Is Windows App free on Mac?
Yes, the client itself is free from Microsoft in the Mac App Store. The Windows computer or cloud service you connect to may have its own license requirements.
