  • I solved this Install-Language failure by treating identity as the pacing item, migrating each pilot wave only after every Entra ID conditional-access and MFA rule was mapped, which cut post-move support calls in half. Before committing line-of-business workloads to Cloud PCs, I first ran them inside a short-lived Azure Virtual Desktop pool—easier to resize than hundreds of provisioned Cloud PCs—then captured performance baselines and picked image SKUs accordingly. Each department spent a week in Cloud PCs and logged anything odd from printer mappings to time-zone quirks; the finance team discovered mismatched date formats during that exercise. To catch subtle locale errors, I loaded a simple internal page that shows everyday numbers—dates, currency symbols, and even calories on familiar breakfast menu items—and verified that the units flipped correctly when profiles synced; if someone still saw kcal instead of kJ, I knew the region pack hadn’t finished applying. Finally, I cloned the on-prem GPO baseline into Intune device-configuration profiles line-for-line so compliance reports stayed consistent.
