The clock is running out on Windows 10. With Microsoft’s end-of-support deadline approaching, enterprises are under pressure to migrate to newer operating systems without disrupting users or compromising IT efficiency. The newly released ProfileUnity v6.8.7 R2 is built for exactly this moment—enabling smooth migrations to Windows 11 24H2, Windows Server 2025, and supporting a range of existing platforms for hybrid, physical, virtual, and DaaS environments. Organizations thinking of moving to Windows AVD or Windows 365 should also take note as this release supports those scenarios as well.

This release doesn’t just bring enhanced compatibility; it brings longstanding control. ProfileUnity automates the steps that IT teams would otherwise need to script or perform manually—saving time, reducing risk, and delivering a better user experience before, during, and after the migration.

Simplifying Windows Migrations in 4 Key Steps

When a user is brought under ProfileUnity management, the following steps are automatically executed using out-of-the-box templates. The process runs silently in the background without requiring user downtime.

1. Smart Profile Delivery
ProfileUnity delivers a fully compatible, portable user profile that works seamlessly across Windows 10, Windows 11, and supported Windows Server platforms. This eliminates the need to maintain separate profiles for different OS versions and ensures a consistent experience for users, whether they’re transitioning between systems or running in a mixed environment.

ProfileUnity is also fully compatible with Microsoft FSLogix and can be layered alongside it. Many organizations choose to leave FSLogix in place while relying on ProfileUnity to add powerful capabilities—including the ability to roll back to a known-good profile state when FSLogix or native Microsoft profiles become corrupt, which is a common issue.

Alternatively, ProfileUnity includes its own disk-based profile solution, ProfileDisk, which can be used instead of FSLogix. ProfileDisk offers several advantages in terms of performance, flexibility, and recovery options, providing IT with more control over the user profile lifecycle.

2. Seamless Data Handling in the Background
ProfileUnity captures user-authored data from the local machine and moves it to a designated file server or cloud storage share, following best practices for disaster recovery and high availability. Shell folders such as Documents, Pictures, and Desktop are automatically redirected, ensuring that data remains accessible and under IT control.

The entire process runs in the background without interrupting the user, and ProfileUnity maintains a full inventory so administrators can verify when data has been harvested and folders successfully redirected.

3. Cross-Platform Flexibility
ProfileUnity supports a range of deployment models including physical desktops, VDI, and DaaS. It ensures a seamless user experience across different Windows versions—both new and legacy—making it ideal for mixed OS environments that are common during transitions and mergers.

4. Role-Based Admin Control
Role-based access control (RBAC) allows for secure delegation of IT responsibilities across teams, departments, or regions. This gives enterprises better scalability and accountability for ongoing user and profile management, both during and after migration.

Built for What’s Now and What’s Next

ProfileUnity v6.8.7 R2 delivers full compatibility with Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025, while continuing to support prior versions of Windows. This flexibility is essential for organizations that are moving to modern platforms in phases or managing a mix of systems across different business units or regions.

And when Windows 12 is released, you can count on Liquidware to be ready with timely support and automation that makes the next leap just as seamless.
