Restoring files and maintaining control
System settings let users fix issues directly. Administrators retain oversight while managing license expirations.
Restore points
Systems save points automatically. Restoring loses changes made since your selected point, including recent software installs. Files kept online in OneDrive remain safe.
Restart and reset
Users restart or reset personal machines directly. Resetting reinstalls Windows entirely, removing personal files, settings and applications. Backing up data first prevents permanent loss.
Resilience
Microsoft maintains immense system availability. Compute recovery happens automatically within zones, maintaining high resilience for stored data objects.
License ending
Expired subscriptions provide normal access briefly, moving to disabled stages where administrators alone access data. Canceling immediately moves machines into disabled phases before deletion.

Common questions from local business owners
- What is a Cloud PC?
A full Windows desktop hosted entirely by Microsoft. Staff access files and applications from a web browser, Apple hardware, Android devices or regular computers.
- Do I need a Microsoft 365 plan first?
Standard business editions work independently without preexisting plans. Companies buy licenses directly from Microsoft or through partners like us.
- What does a Cloud PC cost per person?
Microsoft charges fixed monthly fees per user based on memory size. Our specialized CloudCentric setup services quote separately.
- Does my Cloud PC work on a Mac or iPad?
Apple users connect securely via dedicated software or web browsers. Multiple monitors, local printers, and cameras integrate perfectly.
- What happens to my files when a Cloud PC is reset?
Resetting deletes local applications and files, reinstalling Windows completely. Saving documents in OneDrive preserves important records during resets.
- What happens when a license is removed or a subscription ends?
Access disables gradually. Expired subscriptions remain active briefly before locking users out. Canceled plans disable immediately, leaving data accessible only to administrators before permanent deletion.
- Where does CloudCentric provide setup and support?
We manage information technology systems for local businesses located along the coast from Charleston down to Savannah.
