Windows on iPad: check the app, setup and full cost

Windows on iPad: a practical decision guide

Keep your iPad. Decide whether a separate Windows cloud PC suits one real task.

First: where Windows runs

Windows is not installed on the iPad. A supported client displays and controls the cloud PC.

• Your iPad: Screen, keyboard and pointer.
• Internet connection: Carries the remote session.
• Jump-Desk: Runs Windows and compatible applications.

Choose one task to evaluate

Write down the exact application, version and output you need. Start with a requirement, not a hardware promise.

• The job: What must you finish?
• The application: What version and licence does it need?
• The result: Where must the finished file go?

Check the application before choosing

Compare vendor requirements with the current cloud-PC configuration. Software licences and subscriptions are separate.

• Requirements: CPU, memory, storage and dependencies.
• Licensing: Check virtual or remote use terms.
• Special hardware: Do not assume GPU or peripheral support.

Check the iPad and connection

Use the current supported client on a supported device. Check its current requirements rather than an old screenshot.

• Client + device: Check the official current requirements.
• Input: Keyboard and pointer help desktop work.
• Connection: Test from your usual working location.

Choose an available region

This product recording is cropped to the region choice. A nearby location is a starting point for testing, not a speed guarantee.

Match the configuration to the task

Choose the plan and tier around your requirements. Review live availability, the current total and terms before payment.

• Plan: Match the working pattern.
• Performance: Match the actual application requirements.
• Current price: Use the live product and final checkout.

Prepare the supported client

The recording shows the dashboard in a tablet-sized browser and its app link. It does not demonstrate a completed native iPad session.

Keep the two sign-ins distinct

Your Jump-IT account manages the desktop. The Windows account signs into Windows. Keep credentials and connection details private.

• Jump-IT account: Management and billing.
• Windows account: Access to your Windows desktop.
• Private details: Do not share passwords or connection files.

Complete the connection carefully

Wait for the desktop to be ready. Follow the guide for the supported client and check the host identity when prompted.

• Ready: Check the desktop status.
• Connect: Use your own connection details.
• Verify: Follow the client prompts deliberately.

Test more than an empty document

Try a safe representative file. Make the actual change, save it, export it and reopen the output where you need it.

• Open + edit: Do the real task.
• Save + export: Check the destination and format.
• Reopen: Verify the result.

Budget for both Hours charges

Compute applies while running. The service charge applies while the desktop is retained, including while stopped.

• Running hours × compute rate: The compute part of Hours.
• + retained hours × service rate: The service part of Hours.

A worked pattern, without a price promise

For 8 running hours retained for 7 full days, use 8 compute hours and 168 service hours. Apply current regional rates.

• 8 × current compute / hour: Illustrative running time.
• + 168 × current service / hour: Seven full days retained, including running time.

Compare the full Months price

Months includes up to 300 uptime hours per desktop per month. Do not prorate the monthly price for a short retained period.

• Same configuration: Compare region, tier and currency.
• Full monthly charge: Not a seven-day fraction.
• Allowance: Check the current uptime limit and terms.

Finish the session deliberately

Save your work. Disconnecting is not stopping. For Hours, confirm Stop in the dashboard; service charges continue while retained.

• Save: Keep a backup/export process.
• Stop: Check the dashboard status.
• Before deleting: Export what you need; deletion removes the desktop.

Use the guide. Check your own routine.

• Read the iPad guide: Setup, compatibility and troubleshooting.
• Use the calculator: No account needed for an estimate.
• Choose deliberately: Review availability and the final checkout total.
