Getting Started

Getting Started

Computle is a workstation subscription. Each workstation is a dedicated, graphics-accelerated Windows machine hosted by Computle and assigned to one named user. The user reaches it over the internet with the Computle app on their own Windows, Mac, Linux or iPad device, or from a Computle Device at a fixed desk. Administrators manage the workstations, the users and the policies in the Computle Portal at https://portal.computle.com.

Two paths

Section titled “Two paths”

Setting up Computle for your organisation. You are the IT administrator. Start with Set up your organisation, which walks through the first day in order: signing in to the portal, connecting Microsoft 365, adding users, assigning workstations, joining them to Microsoft Entra ID, turning on Single Sign-On, and rolling out the app.

Using a Computle workstation. Your administrator has assigned a workstation to you. Start with Install the app, then read Using the App for what you can do in a session.
