So, with the announcement of Windows 365, one of the benefits is to have the same profile no matter where the user login. This is true regarding the profile of the Virtual environment (Windows 365). How is going to be the transition between the local profile (on-premises or actual user's devices) of the user they already have in their devices, and the one in Azure (Windows 365)? Is there going to be like a migration/synchronization tool between the actual profile (on-premises if you want to name it) and the one in Windows 365, or is it going to be a different profile?

We are syncing the users data across both their physical and cloud PC devices via the following technologies. When you switch between devices, data and profile settings will actively synchronize. - OneDrive Known Folder Move - Windows Sync Your Settings - Enterprise State Roaming - Office roaming settings - Edge synced settings- vnavarroJul 21, 2021Copper ContributorSo data and profile will be synchronize. What about the applications running in the session?
- Jim_PonderJul 21, 2021Copper ContributorWon't this be a roaming profile set in Azure to accomplish this along with utilizing group policies? I wonder if this is similar to Citrix where they build in their own group policies and profiles for logging into the cloud..
