Windows Migration
Codimite helps organizations move suitable Windows users to Googlebook through a structured migration approach covering application readiness, identity, data, security, peripherals, Windows-specific dependencies, and phased user transition.
Move Beyond Windows
Assess how users actually work before changing endpoints so the migration is based on application requirements, business workflows, data access, identity, and device dependencies rather than operating system alone.
Find employees whose daily work is already centered around browser applications, SaaS platforms, and cloud-based workflows that may be suitable for Googlebook.
Identify native Windows applications, desktop software, and specialized tools that could affect migration readiness.
Evaluate Cameyo, Citrix, Windows 365 Cloud PC, modernization, or another validated delivery approach for applications that still require Windows.
Map local files, OneDrive, SharePoint, shared drives, Google Drive, and other enterprise repositories to maintain user access after migration.
Review Microsoft Entra ID, Google Cloud Identity, SAML 2.0, OIDC, SCIM, certificates, and other authentication or provisioning requirements.
Test printers, scanners, docks, displays, specialized devices, and other hardware dependencies before migrating users.
Migration Process
Move Windows users in defined stages so application, identity, data, hardware, and user experience issues can be resolved before wider deployment.
Review Windows users, devices, applications, browser workflows, identity, data, security requirements, and peripherals.
Group users according to Googlebook readiness, Windows application dependencies, workload complexity, and business priority.
Define direct migration, application modernization, virtual delivery, retained-Windows, and exception paths for each user group.
Validate Googlebook with representative Windows users, business-critical applications, identity, data, peripherals, and workflows.
Move approved users in controlled waves and confirm application access, identity, data, security, peripheral compatibility, and user experience.

Comparison
Compare the existing Windows environment with the planned Googlebook target across applications, identity, data, management, peripherals, and migration approach to identify which workloads can transition and which require an alternative path.
| Area | Windows Environment | Googlebook Migration |
|---|---|---|
| Applications | Native Windows, browser, and SaaS applications | Applications revalidated with alternative delivery where required |
| Browser & SaaS | Supported alongside desktop applications | Strong migration candidates for suitable users |
| Identity | Often Microsoft Entra ID or hybrid identity | Target identity architecture validated before migration |
| Data | Local files, OneDrive, SharePoint, and shared storage | Access mapped and validated before transition |
| Peripherals | Existing Windows-compatible hardware | Tested against target user requirements |
| Management | Existing Windows endpoint management stack | Googlebook target management requirements validated |
| Migration | Existing endpoint environment | Workload-based and phased transition |
FAQs
Common questions about moving Windows users to Googlebook, including application compatibility, identity, coexistence, and Windows-specific dependencies.
No. Application, peripheral, security, data, and workflow requirements should be assessed before deciding which users are suitable.
They can be evaluated for Cameyo, Citrix, Windows 365 Cloud PC, modernization, another virtual application approach, or continued Windows access.
Potentially. The identity architecture should be validated based on authentication, provisioning, user groups, and access requirements.
Yes. A phased approach can keep selected users or workloads on Windows while other groups transition to Googlebook.
Yes. Application and user readiness should help determine migration scope and endpoint requirements.
Assess applications, devices, identity, data, peripherals, and user workflows before defining migration groups and committing to wider deployment.
