What you get

The RDP trial gives you a Windows Server 2022 machine with 2 vCPU, 4 GB of memory and 60 GB of NVMe for 7 days. Connect with Remote Desktop from Windows, macOS, Android or iOS, and use it like any Windows PC that never sleeps.

Why a trial and not free forever? Every Windows Server instance carries a licensing cost we pay to Microsoft, so a permanently free Windows server would lose money for every user. Seven days is enough to finish an assignment, test software, or decide whether a paid RDP plan is worth it.

Questions

Is the RDP really free?

For 7 days, yes. It's a trial because each Windows Server instance costs us a licence fee. After day 7 the server is deleted unless you upgrade.

Do I need a credit card for the trial?

No. Student verification replaces the card check.

Can I keep my files after the trial?

Upgrade to a paid RDP plan before day 7 and your server carries on. Otherwise copy anything important off it before it ends.

How do I connect from Android or iPhone?

Install Microsoft's Remote Desktop app, add a PC with the address and port from your welcome email, and sign in as Administrator.

Can I get a second trial?

No. It's one trial per person, which keeps it available for others.

Does it have a GPU?

No. It's a CPU-only server, so it isn't suited to gaming or GPU rendering.

Which Windows version is it?

Windows Server 2022, licensed and activated.

Why can't I send email from it?

Outbound port 25 is blocked on trials to prevent spam. Use an email API or SMTP relay on port 587 instead.
