Product definition
A Jump‑Desk is a Windows 11 Pro cloud desktop created and managed through Jump‑IT. You choose an available location, billing option and performance tier, create the desktop, then connect using a compatible remote desktop client.
The How‑To library explains the device-specific steps. Live regional availability, pricing, included usage and checkout terms are shown in the Jump‑IT app and take precedence over older screenshots or examples.
Prepared and maintained by the Jump‑IT Team. Reviewed 8 September 2026 against the current Jump‑IT frontend, WordPress page hierarchy and published iPad workflow.
Product behaviour, client requirements and regional availability can change. Check the relevant guide’s update date and use the live Jump‑IT app as the source of truth for pricing and account-specific status.

CURRENT WORKFLOWS · SEPTEMBER 2026
An assistant can help draft a report, explain a formula or plan a workflow, while the final task still depends on a Windows desktop application, plug-in or client system. Start with that application and its requirements. A browser-based assistant alone is not a reason to add another computer; a compatible Windows-only workflow may be.
A retained Jump-Desk keeps that Windows environment available between sessions. For colleagues doing the same kind of work, Jump-Teams adds invitations, roles and desktop assignments. AI subscriptions, Microsoft 365 and other paid applications require their own licences; a cloud PC does not include those subscriptions or promise specialist GPU hardware.

Eligible Hours desktops use prepaid funding. Compute charges apply while running, and the separate service charge continues while the desktop is retained. Stopping the desktop preserves its files and ends running compute charges; deleting it permanently removes the desktop. Review the wallet, current rates and funding permissions in Jump-IT before creating one.
For regular work, Months includes up to 300 hours of uptime per desktop each month. Review the current Years option when a longer commitment suits the requirement. Each desktop has its own plan, region and performance tier.
