Migrate Azure Virtual Desktop to Windows 365 — No Data Loss, No Reinstalls!

Ever wanted to move your Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) single-session machines over to Windows 365 without reinstalling every app, migrating user profiles, or upsetting your developers?

In this video, I’ll walk you through the end-to-end migration process using Nerdio, showing how you can seamlessly lift-and-shift your existing AVD desktops into Windows 365 — keeping all user data, settings, and applications intact.

We’ll even follow along with Bob the developer (and his cat wallpaper 🐱) to prove that nothing gets lost in translation!

💡 Perfect for IT admins, cloud architects, and anyone running AVD single-session workloads who wants to simplify their move to Windows 365.

What you’ll learn:

Why Windows 365 is gaining momentum for persistent desktop workloads
How Nerdio’s migration wizard works under the hood
How to preserve apps, data, and user customizations
How to automate cleanups, scheduling, and user notifications
A live migration demo from AVD → Windows 365
