-
inSync supports Microsoft Windows 7 or later and Mac OS X 10.8 or later.

You can find errors related to system restores in the inSync client log files. inSync also displays an error if your system settings restore does not complete.
- How does inSync help me with operating system migration?
-
To know more about operating system migration using inSync, see OS migration using Persona Backup.
- Can I track operating system migration across my organization?

inSync does not track operating system migrations across your organization. However, you might be able to find some third-party tools that can perform such a tracking.
- Do I see an alert if an OS migration fails?
-

inSync does not perform the actual migration; rather it helps you import settings of a system before the migration. After the migration, it restores the imported settings. You should contact your system administrator to know if the license gets migrated.
