Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric: all prerequisites, tooling, and examples for preparing drives require a Windows system and the WAImportExport.exe tool, which is only available for Windows. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or instructions, and the documentation does not mention alternatives or workarounds for non-Windows users. Windows requirements and tools are presented exclusively and before any cross-platform Azure CLI or PowerShell steps.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the WAImportExport tool is Windows-only and clarify platform limitations early in the prerequisites.
- Provide guidance or alternatives for Linux/macOS users, such as using a Windows VM, or clarify if the process is not supported on those platforms.
- If possible, develop and document a cross-platform version of the WAImportExport tool or provide scripts/utilities for Linux/macOS.
- Include notes or links to community-supported methods for non-Windows environments, if available.
- Add a table or section comparing platform support and limitations for each step.
