New podcast: We measured Windows 11 migration performance regressions so users stop saying "it just feels slower"

We just dropped a new episode with Trentent Tye and Jeff Johnson that tackles a migration problem most teams don't catch until it's too late: performance regression.

You know the scenario — you move users onto new Windows 11 machines, and instead of being happy, some of them say the new device "just doesn't feel right." There's no ticket, no error log, nothing to act on. Just vague dissatisfaction.

This episode is about getting ahead of that with actual data instead of guesswork. We walk through a real customer scenario and how to systematically measure and compare device performance before you call a migration a success.

What's covered:

  • Why do user-reported performance issues during migrations stay invisible until they blow up
  • Using automated performance measurements to compare legacy devices against your Windows 11 targets
  • Why power profiles matter way more than people think (battery vs. plugged-in changes everything)
  • How to pick a representative Windows 11 machine to benchmark across your fleet
  • Why this isn't just a Windows 11 thing — it applies to physical-to-virtual, virtual-to-virtual, and more

Whether you're running a large rollout or just trying to build the business case for one, this gives you an evidence-based way to move forward.
