Fan F1 to F3?

All current F1 licences will be automatically changed to F3 licences. This is 100% rebranding, no functional changes -> but a name change.

A comparison of the new licences

As you can see Exchange yellow is no longer part of the new Microsoft 365 F1. The focus for better collaboration goes entirely to Microsoft Teams!

A perfect scenario are remote workers who consult documents. The big advantage of the licence is lots of functionality for a relatively low price.

The new F1 is not for users who have their own device with Windows 10. It is for remote users with a tablet or smartphone.

There is no OneDrive for business for the new F1 licences. However, it is possible to save documents on Microsoft Teams.
