Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples and instructions assume the use of Windows tools (e.g., .exe installers, Windows file paths, Windows-specific utilities like SetupDiag), and command-line instructions use Windows syntax. There is no mention of Linux or macOS hosts, nor are there alternative instructions for non-Windows platforms. The migration workflow is designed for Hyper-V, which is a Windows-only virtualization technology, but the documentation also assumes Windows as the host OS for all steps, including troubleshooting and post-migration tasks.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that the migration tool and process are only supported on Windows/Hyper-V hosts, if that is the case.
  • If Linux/macOS hosts or management are possible, provide equivalent instructions, tools, and examples for those platforms.
  • Clarify any steps that are Windows-specific and offer alternatives or workarounds for Linux/macOS users where possible (e.g., remote management, using Azure CLI, or PowerShell Core on non-Windows platforms).
  • Add notes about limitations for non-Windows users and link to relevant cross-platform migration guides if available.
  • Ensure post-migration best practices include Linux-specific recommendations where appropriate (e.g., troubleshooting Linux VM activation, security hardening for Linux VMs).
