How to resize Windows 365 cloud PC
Microsoft recently added a function in the Microsoft Intune management console to resize a Windows 365 PC cloud. Small clarification, this option is currently available in Preview.
With this new feature, we have the possibility to adjust the following elements:
- CPU
- Memory
- Hard drive
The desired changes must match the configurations proposed in the Windows 365 license program.

Here is the list of prerequisites necessary to perform the resizing of a Cloud PC :
- For a Cloud PC provisioned with a direct assigned license, at least one of the following roles
- Global Admin
