In this guide you will learn how to migrate a Google Chromebook-based learning environment to a Windows 10-based learning environment. You will learn how to perform the necessary planning steps, including Windows device deployment, migration of user and device settings, app migration or replacement, and cloud storage migration. You will then learn the best method to perform the migration by using automated deployment and migration tools.
## Plan Chromebook migration
## <a href="" id="plan-migration"></a>Plan Chromebook migration
Before you begin to migrate Chromebook devices, plan your migration. As with most projects, there can be an urge to immediately start doing before planning. When you plan your Chromebook migration before you perform the migration, you can save countless hours of frustration and mistakes during the migration process.
In the planning portion of this guide, you will identify all the decisions that you need to make and how to make each decision. At the end of the planning section, you will have a list of information you need to collect and what you need to do with the information. You will be ready to perform your Chromebook migration.
## Plan for app migration or replacement
## <a href="" id="plan-app-migrate-replace"></a>Plan for app migration or replacement
App migration or replacement is an essential part of your Chromebook migration. In this section you will plan how you will migrate or replace Chromebook (Chrome OS) apps that are currently in use with the same or equivalent Windows apps. At the end of this section, you will have a list of the active Chrome OS apps and the Windows app counterparts.

Before you can do any analysis or make decisions about which apps to migrate or replace, you need to identify which apps are currently in use on the Chromebook devices. You will create a list of apps that are currently in use (also called an app portfolio).
**Note**  
The majority of Chromebook apps are web apps. For these apps you need to first perform Microsoft Edge compatibility testing and then publish the web app URL to the Windows users. For more information, see the [Perform app compatibility testing for web apps](#perform_testing_webapps) section.

This allows you to easily recover any data that might not have migrated successfully from the existing cloud services. At a minimum, overlap the user of existing and new cloud services until the user can verify the migration. Of course, the tradeoff for using this strategy is the cost of the existing cloud services.

Windows® provides several *compatibility modes*, groups of compatibility fixes found to resolve many common application-compatibility issues. While working with Compatibility Administrator, you might decide to group some of your individual compatibility fixes into a custom-compatibility mode, which you can then deploy and use on any of your compatibility databases.

The goal of the test environment is to model the operating system that you want to deploy and assess compatibility before deploying the operating system to your production environment. Your test environment is composed of computers on which the new operating system is installed. Your test environment can be a long-term investment. Consider retaining the test environment after deployment to assist in future deployment projects.

The process used to accomplish this will depend on the firmware type and manufacturer. If your host computer is protected by BitLocker and running Windows 7 you should suspend BitLocker before making the change to the firmware settings. After the firmware settings have been successfully reconfigured, resume BitLocker protection. If you do not suspend BitLocker first, BitLocker will assume that the computer has been tampered with and will boot into BitLocker recovery mode.

## What is Windows To Go?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-whatis"></a>What is Windows To Go?
Windows To Go is a feature for users of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education that enables users to boot a full version of Windows from external USB drives on host PCs.
## Does Windows To Go rely on virtualization?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-virt"></a>Does Windows To Go rely on virtualization?
No. Windows To Go is a native instance of Windows 10 that runs from a USB device. It is just like a laptop hard drive with Windows 8 that has been put into a USB enclosure.
## Who should use Windows To Go?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-who"></a>Who should use Windows To Go?
Windows To Go was designed for enterprise usage and targets scenarios such as continuance of operations, contractors, managed free seating, traveling workers, and work from home.
## How can Windows To Go be deployed in an organization?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-deploy"></a>How can Windows To Go be deployed in an organization?
Windows To Go can be deployed using standard Windows deployment tools like Diskpart and DISM. The prerequisites for deploying Windows To Go are:
- A Windows To Go recommended USB drive to provision; See the list of currently available USB drives at [Hardware considerations for Windows To Go](windows-to-go-feature-overview-scenario.md#wtg_hardware)

## Is Windows To Go supported on both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 drives?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-usbvs"></a>Is Windows To Go supported on both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 drives?
No. Windows To Go is supported on USB 3.0 drives that are certified for Windows To Go.
## Is Windows To Go supported on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-usbports"></a>Is Windows To Go supported on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports?
Yes. Windows To Go is fully supported on either USB 2.0 ports or USB 3.0 ports on PCs certified for Windows 7 or later.
## How do I identify a USB 3.0 port?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-usb3port"></a>How do I identify a USB 3.0 port?
USB 3.0 ports are usually marked blue or carry a SS marking on the side.
## Does Windows To Go run faster on a USB 3.0 port?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-usb3speed"></a>Does Windows To Go run faster on a USB 3.0 port?
Yes. Because USB 3.0 offers significantly faster speeds than USB 2.0, a Windows To Go drive running on a USB 3.0 port will operate considerably faster. This speed increase applies to both drive provisioning and when the drive is being used as a workspace.
## Can the user self-provision Windows To Go?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-selfpro"></a>Can the user self-provision Windows To Go?
Yes, if the user has administrator permissions they can self-provision a Windows To Go drive using the Windows To Go Creator wizard which is included in Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education. Additionally, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 and later releases includes support for user self-provisioning of Windows To Go drives.

## Can I use BitLocker to protect my Windows To Go drive?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-bitlocker"></a>Can I use BitLocker to protect my Windows To Go drive?
Yes. In Windows 8 and later, BitLocker has added support for using a password to protect operating system drives. This means that you can use a password to secure your Windows To Go workspace and you will be prompted to enter this password every time you use the Windows To Go workspace.
## Why cant I enable BitLocker from Windows To Go Creator?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-blfail"></a>Why cant I enable BitLocker from Windows To Go Creator?
Several different Group Policies control the use of BitLocker on your organizations computers. These policies are located in the **Computer Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\BitLocker Drive Encryption** folder of the local Group Policy editor. The folder contains three sub-folders for fixed, operating system and removable data drive types.

Additionally, the Windows To Go Creator will disable the BitLocker option if the drive does not have any volumes. In this situation, you should initialize the drive and create a volume using the Disk Management console before provisioning the drive with Windows To Go.
## What power states does Windows To Go support?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-power"></a>What power states does Windows To Go support?
Windows To Go supports all power states except the hibernate class of power states, which include hybrid boot, hybrid sleep, and hibernate. This default behavior can be modified by using Group Policy settings to enable hibernation of the Windows To Go workspace.
## Why is hibernation disabled in Windows To Go?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-hibernate"></a>Why is hibernation disabled in Windows To Go?
When a Windows To Go workspace is hibernated, it will only successfully resume on the exact same hardware. Therefore, if a Windows To Go workspace is hibernated on one computer and roamed to another, the hibernation state (and therefore user state) will be lost. To prevent this from happening, the default settings for a Windows To Go workspace disable hibernation. If you are confident that you will only attempt to resume on the same computer, you can enable hibernation using the Windows To Go Group Policy setting, **Allow hibernate (S4) when started from a Windows To Go workspace** that is located at **\\\\Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Portable Operating System\\** in the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
## Does Windows To Go support crash dump analysis?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-crashdump"></a>Does Windows To Go support crash dump analysis?
Yes. Windows 8 and later support crash dump stack analysis for both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
## Do “Windows To Go Startup Options” work with dual boot computers?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-dualboot"></a>Do “Windows To Go Startup Options” work with dual boot computers?
Yes, if both operating systems are running the Windows 8 operating system. Enabling “Windows To Go Startup Options” should cause the computer to boot from the Windows To Go workspace when the drive is plugged in before the computer is turned on.
If you have configured a dual boot computer with a Windows operating system and another operating system it might work occasionally and fail occasionally. Using this configuration is unsupported.

## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-diskpart"></a>I plugged my Windows To Go drive into a running computer and I cant see the partitions on the drive. Why not?
Windows To Go Creator and the recommended deployment steps for Windows To Go set the NO\_DEFAULT\_DRIVE\_LETTER flag on the Windows To Go drive. This flag prevents Windows from automatically assigning drive letters to the partitions on the Windows To Go drive. Thats why you cant see the partitions on the drive when you plug your Windows To Go drive into a running computer. This helps prevent accidental data leakage between the Windows To Go drive and the host computer. If you really need to access the files on the Windows To Go drive from a running computer, you can use diskmgmt.msc or diskpart to assign a drive letter.

Windows To Go Creator and the recommended deployment steps for Windows To Go set SAN Policy 4 on Windows To Go drive. This policy prevents Windows from automatically mounting internal disk drives. Thats why you cant see the internal hard drives of the host computer when you are booted into Windows To Go. This is done to prevent accidental data leakage between Windows To Go and the host system. This policy also prevents potential corruption on the host drives or data loss if the host operating system is in a hibernation state.

## Is Windows To Go secure if I use it on an untrusted computer?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-malhost"></a>Is Windows To Go secure if I use it on an untrusted computer?
While you are more secure than if you use a completely untrusted operating system, you are still vulnerable to attacks from the firmware or anything that runs before Windows To Go starts. If you plug your Windows To Go drive into a running untrusted computer, your Windows To Go drive can be compromised because any malicious software that might be active on the computer can access the drive.
## Does Windows To Go work with ARM processors?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-arm"></a>Does Windows To Go work with ARM processors?
No. Windows RT is a specialized version of Windows designed for ARM processors. Windows To Go is currently only supported on PCs with x86 or x64-based processors.
## Can I synchronize data from Windows To Go with my other computer?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-datasync"></a>Can I synchronize data from Windows To Go with my other computer?

No, Windows To Go requires volume activation; either using the [Key Management Service](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619051) (KMS) server in your organization or using [Active Directory](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619053) based volume activation. The Windows To Go workspace will not need to be reactivated every time you roam. KMS activates Windows on a local network, eliminating the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft. To remain activated, KMS client computers must renew their activation by connecting to the KMS host on periodic basis. This typically occurs as soon as the user has access to the corporate network (either through a direct connection on-premises or a through remote connection using DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection), once activated the machine will not need to be activated again until the activation validity interval has passed. In a KMS configuration the activation validity interval is 180 days.
## Can I use all Windows features on Windows To Go?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-features"></a>Can I use all Windows features on Windows To Go?
Yes, with some minor exceptions, you can use all Windows features with your Windows To Go workspace. The only currently unsupported features are using the Windows Recovery Environment and PC Reset & Refresh.
## Can I use all my applications on Windows To Go?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-approam"></a>Can I use all my applications on Windows To Go?
Yes. Because your Windows To Go workspace is a full Windows 10 environment, all applications that work with Windows 10 should work in your Windows To Go workspace. However, any applications that use hardware binding (usually for licensing and/or digital rights management reasons) may not run when you roam your Windows To Go drive between different host computers, and you may have to use those applications on the same host computer every time.
## Does Windows To Go work slower than standard Windows?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-slow"></a>Does Windows To Go work slower than standard Windows?
If you are using a USB 3.0 port and a Windows To Go certified device, there should be no perceivable difference between standard Windows and Windows To Go. However, if you are booting from a USB 2.0 port, you may notice some slowdown since USB 2.0 transfer speeds are slower than SATA speeds.
## If I lose my Windows To Go drive, will my data be safe?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-safeloss"></a>If I lose my Windows To Go drive, will my data be safe?
Yes! If you enable BitLocker on your Windows To Go drive, all your data will be encrypted and protected and a malicious user will not be able to access your data without your password. If you dont enable BitLocker, your data will be vulnerable if you lose your Windows To Go drive.

We are committed to give customers a consistent and quality Windows 10 experience with Windows To Go. Windows To Go supports host devices certified for use with Windows 7 or later. Because Mac computers are not certified for use with Windows 7 or later, using Windows To Go is not supported on a Mac.
## Are there any APIs that allow applications to identify a Windows To Go workspace?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-api"></a>Are there any APIs that allow applications to identify a Windows To Go workspace?
Yes. You can use a combination of identifiers to determine if the currently running operating system is a Windows To Go workspace. First, check if the **PortableOperatingSystem** property is true. When that value is true it means that the operating system was booted from an external USB device.

## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-lic"></a>How is Windows To Go licensed?
Windows To Go allows organization to support the use of privately owned PCs at the home or office with more secure access to their organizational resources. With Windows To Go use rights under [Software Assurance](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619062), an employee will be able to use Windows To Go on any company PC licensed with Software Assurance as well as from their home PC.
## Does Windows Recovery Environment work with Windows To Go? Whats the guidance for recovering a Windows To Go drive?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-recovery"></a>Does Windows Recovery Environment work with Windows To Go? Whats the guidance for recovering a Windows To Go drive?
No, use of Windows Recovery Environment is not supported on Windows To Go. It is recommended that you implement user state virtualization technologies like Folder Redirection to centralize and back up user data in the data center. If any corruption occurs on a Windows To Go drive, you should re-provision the workspace.
## Why wont Windows To Go work on a computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-oldos"></a>Why wont Windows To Go work on a computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista?
Actually it might. If you have purchased a computer certified for Windows 7 or later and then installed an older operating system, Windows To Go will boot and run as expected as long as you have configured the firmware to boot from USB. However, if the computer was certified for Windows XP or Windows Vista, it might not meet the hardware requirements for Windows To Go to run. Typically computers certified for Windows Vista and earlier operating systems have less memory, less processing power, reduced video rendering, and slower USB ports.
## Why does the operating system on the host computer matter?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-oldos2"></a>Why does the operating system on the host computer matter?
It doesnt other than to help visually identify if the PC has compatible hardware. For a PC to be certified for Windows 7 or later it had to support booting from USB. If a computer cannot boot from USB there is no way that it can be used with Windows To Go. The Windows To Go workspace is a full Windows 10 environment, so all of the hardware requirements of Windows 10 with respect to processing speed, memory usage, and graphics rendering need to be supported to be assured that it will work as expected.
## My host computer running Windows 7 is protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption. Why did I need to use the recovery key to unlock and reboot my host computer after using Windows To Go?
## <a href="" id="wtg-faq-blreckey"></a>My host computer running Windows 7 is protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption. Why did I need to use the recovery key to unlock and reboot my host computer after using Windows To Go?
The default BitLocker protection profile in Windows 7 monitors the host computer for changes to the boot order as part of protecting the computer from tampering. When you change the boot order of the host computer to enable it to boot from the Windows To Go drive, the BitLocker system measurements will reflect that change and boot into recovery mode so that the computer can be inspected if necessary.

## Why do I keep on getting the message “Installing devices…” when I boot Windows To Go?
## <a href="" id="bkmk-roamconflict"></a>Why do I keep on getting the message “Installing devices…” when I boot Windows To Go?
One of the challenges involved in moving the Windows To Go drive between PCs while seamlessly booting Windows with access to all of their applications and data is that for Windows to be fully functional, specific drivers need to be installed for the hardware in each machine that runs Windows. Windows 8 or later has a process called respecialize which will identify new drivers that need to be loaded for the new PC and disable drivers which are not present on the new configuration. In general this feature is reliable and efficient when roaming between PCs of widely varying hardware configurations.

This process will occur on any boot that a new driver is found and a driver conflict is detected. In some cases that will result in a respecialize progress message “Installing devices…” displaying every time that a Windows to Go drive is roamed between two PCs which require conflicting drivers.
## How do I upgrade the operating system on my Windows To Go drive?
## <a href="" id="bkmk-upgradewtg"></a>How do I upgrade the operating system on my Windows To Go drive?
There is no support in Windows for upgrading a Windows To Go drive. Deployed Windows To Go drives with older versions of Windows will need to be re-imaged with a new version of Windows in order to transition to the new operating system version.

## Deploy Windows Update for Business in your organization
For Windows 10, Version 1511, Windows Update for Business is enabled using a set of client-side configurations, allowing you to manage how and when Windows-based devices receive updates and upgrades. These capabilities use the Windows Update service like any other Windows 10 clients, but provides controls to help businesses validate update quality as well as time their update deployments to machines through the use of Group Policy Objects. Windows Update for Business also incorporates smart peer-to-peer networking for distribution of Windows updates, which will help maintain bandwidth efficiency in the absence of a WSUS solution.
