Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All prerequisites and tooling instructions require a Windows system, specifically referencing NTFS volumes, BitLocker encryption, and the WAImportExport.exe tool, which is only available for Windows. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or examples for preparing drives, running the import/export tool, or handling encryption. The documentation assumes the user has access to a Windows environment and does not mention cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit statements about platform support, including whether Linux/macOS are supported or not.
- If possible, develop and document Linux/macOS versions of the WAImportExport tool, or provide alternative workflows for non-Windows users.
- Include Linux-specific instructions for preparing disks (e.g., using ext4/xfs, LUKS encryption, mounting, and CSV file preparation).
- Offer guidance for users who only have access to Linux or macOS, such as using a VM or cloud-hosted Windows environment, or alternative Azure data transfer services.
- Clearly indicate any limitations or requirements for NTFS and BitLocker, and suggest cross-platform compatible options if available.
