Why Aurexon Layers

Everything you need to run
Windows on Linux

No setup, no licence fees, no hardware requirements. Windows runs on Aurexon's servers — your machine just shows the screen.

Ready in seconds

Your Windows container starts in under 10 seconds. No 10-minute boot, no BIOS tinkering.

☁️

Cloud-powered

Windows runs entirely on Aurexon's VPS infrastructure. Zero local CPU or RAM consumed.

🔒

Private & isolated

Your container is completely isolated. Files, apps and clipboard are yours alone.

🎯

Any Windows app

If it runs on Windows, it runs here. Office, dev tools, legacy software — all supported.

💾

Persistent storage

Installed apps and files stick around between sessions. Your environment stays exactly as you left it.

🖥️

Browser or client

Access via any browser with no install, or use the native Linux client for better performance.
