On September 25, Patently Apple reported that "Meta revealed at their Connect event that it’s working with Microsoft to bring its Quest platform better wireless pairing with Windows 11 PCs, aiming to make using a PC with Quest a more seamless experience."

Yesterday, Microsoft officially announced that the full capabilities of Windows 11 can now be enjoyed on mixed reality headsets, starting with Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. This feature it's likely to "officially" land on Vision Pro in the future. In the mean time, some Apple techies have already been using windows on their Vision Pro by either using "Immersed" or "Luna" (01 and 02).

Microsoft officially announced that it is partnering with Meta to make this experience available now in public preview, and we’re excited to get feedback from the community. Access to your local Windows PC or Windows 365 Cloud PC from a Quest headset is seamless and it takes only seconds to connect to a private, high-quality, multiple-monitor workstation.

Meta Quest is now a natural extension of your Windows PC. Access multiple high-resolution virtual monitors on Meta Quest to boost your productivity whether at home, in the office or on the go. Choose to block out distractions by fully immersing yourself while you work on virtual monitors or take advantage of Passthrough and stay connected to the physical world around you. Either way, you can get more done on multiple large screens visible only by you, even when you’re working in a busy place. Whether you’re participating in virtual meetings, working in shared spaces or interacting with digital content in your physical environment, Windows and Meta Quest together provide a powerful tool for productivity.

Getting started

Connecting your Quest to your local PC for the first time is simple and secure. Just press “Windows + Y” on your keyboard, look at the QR code that pops up and you are on your way to experiencing unparalleled productivity with Windows 11. Reconnect at any time by tapping the “connect” button over your PC’s keyboard.

Join the future of work today by experiencing Windows 11 on Meta Quest. This experience is starting to become available now as an experimental feature of the v72 software update for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Find out more and share your feedback. * The v72 software update from Meta will roll out gradually so If you don’t see the update today, don’t worry! It’ll make its way to your headset soon.
