Enterprise State Roaming

Microsoft 365 allows you to implement Enterprise State Roaming which is the ability to sync select Windows desktop settings across various machines. This is really handy if you work with different Windows 10 machines and want you information across all of them.

You enable Enterprise State Roaming in Azure AD and then all you need to have is Windows 10 Pro machines joined directly to Azure AD. This video tutorial will show you how to set up Enterprise State Roaming and how it works.
