PRODUCTION OPTION
Windows Cloud PC
A dedicated Windows desktop accessible from Ubuntu using a compatible browser. Subscription and provisioning are separate requirements.
Launch Microsoft Windows 365 → FIELD WORKSTATION / CLOUD-FIRST RECOVERY
Boot light.
Work anywhere.
One local Ubuntu layer. A verified startup path. Secure Windows sessions hosted by your provider — without requiring a functioning internal SSD.
Windows Cloud PC requires a provisioned account and provider sign-in. This page is a launcher, not a live VM, SSO service, VPN, or OS image.

compute environment.
Real provider entry points only. Authentication stays with Microsoft or your selected remote infrastructure.
ALTERNATIVE
Azure Virtual Desktop
Provider-hosted desktops and remote apps. Requires an assigned desktop and organization configuration.
Open Azure Virtual Desktop →LOCAL ONLY
GHOSTaccess
Open the existing CPX local recovery and account-label workspace. It does not authenticate to or control a remote VM.
Open GHOSTaccess →ENDPOINT DEPLOYMENT / NON-DESTRUCTIVE
Turn Ubuntu into
a dedicated cloud terminal.
The installer configures an ordinary Ubuntu user session. It does not modify Ventoy, disk partitions, UEFI firmware, or Windows installation media.
Download
Save the inspected shell script to the HP. Do not run unreviewed commands through a shell pipe.
Download boot launcher ↓Need to boot without the SanDisk? Check the internal NVMe device first.
Download SSD hardware diagnostic ↓Advanced Ubuntu diagnostics: SSD enumeration, controllers, Windows partitions, UEFI entries and boot-environment classification. No sudo or disk modifications.
Download Ubuntu boot diagnostic v2.1 ↓Connect the Samsung with a USB-C data cable. Download the local GHOST Phone Control installer, then run its read-only inspection mode before setup.
Download GHOST Phone Control for Ubuntu ↓Prove persistence
Run the check, mark the Ubuntu home directory, reboot into the same persistent entry, and verify the marker survived.

Once verification passes, configure cloud-first launch after Ubuntu login; reversible with --uninstall.

A public website cannot replace firmware-level boot media. Keep your existing Ventoy setup until persistence, reboot, and recovery are validated. Full installation and rollback guide →
