Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All prerequisites, drive preparation steps, and tooling (BitLocker, WAImportExport) are Windows-only, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives. Examples and instructions exclusively reference Windows tools and PowerShell, and there is no guidance for users on non-Windows platforms. This creates significant friction for Linux/macOS users, who cannot complete the process as described.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state Windows-only support in the prerequisites and provide rationale.
  • If possible, develop and document Linux/macOS-compatible tooling for drive preparation and encryption.
  • If the Import/Export service is fundamentally Windows-only, provide alternative workflows or guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using Azure Storage direct upload, third-party tools, or VM-based workarounds).
  • Add a section clarifying platform limitations and suggesting supported environments up front.
  • Consider providing a roadmap or feedback channel for cross-platform support.
