Navigating the Windows 10 to 11 Migration for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal

Windows 10 Enterprise will reach its end-of-support (EOS) on October 14, 2025, necessitating a transition to Windows 11 for end-user computing administrators. The migration process is outlined for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal users utilizing the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model, excluding WorkSpaces with Windows licenses or Windows 10 LTSC versions. Post-EOS, existing Windows 10 WorkSpaces will remain operational, but new Windows 10 images cannot be imported. Migration to Windows 11 can be done through two primary pathways: the WorkSpaces Migration API or establishing new Windows 11 WorkSpaces infrastructure. The WorkSpaces Migration API allows for a straightforward migration without needing new infrastructure but is a one-way process with no rollback option. The steps include importing a new Windows 11 BYOL image, launching a WorkSpace, applying customizations, creating a custom image, and migrating users in batches. The new Windows 11 BYOL WorkSpaces infrastructure offers more control and flexibility, allowing for coexistence of Windows 10 and Windows 11 environments temporarily. This option requires careful planning and may incur additional costs. Steps include importing a new Windows 11 image, launching a WorkSpace, applying customizations, creating a custom image, and then migrating users before deleting the original Windows 10 WorkSpaces.
