In our experience, we have carried out this migration <strong>mainly for two reasons<\/strong>. The first is that we had a Cloud PC hosted in a region where nested virtualization was not allowed, which <strong>prevented us from enabling Hyper-V and using virtual machines<\/strong> inside our cloud desktop. You can check the Windows 365 regions compatible with Hyper-V from this <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows-365\/enterprise\/nested-virtualization#requirements\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows-365\/enterprise\/requirements?tabs=enterprise%2Cent#supported-azure-regions-for-cloud-pc-provisioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The other scenario was <strong>to improve the latency or response time<\/strong> of our cloud desktop. For example, <strong>by migrating our Cloud PCs from the North Europe Azure region, located in Ireland, to France Central, we observed an improvement of about 35\u202fms<\/strong> in latency. To check which Azure region works best for you, you can use this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azurespeed.com\/Azure\/Latency\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.azurespeed.com\/Azure\/Latency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>. According to Microsoft\u2019s criteria for Azure Virtual Desktop, <strong>the user experience is optimal if latency is below 150\u202fms<\/strong>. Between 150\u202fms and 200\u202fms, the experience is acceptable for tasks such as word processing. However, any latency above 200\u202fms will negatively impact the experience of using the cloud desktop.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full border-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/equipo.alanmartin.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equipo.alanmartin.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-9.png 964w, https:\/\/equipo.alanmartin.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-9-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/equipo.alanmartin.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-9-768x166.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to migrate to another region?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin with the scenario in which <strong>our Windows 365 instances are hosted in our Azure subscription<\/strong>.
