Overview

Before your computer is migrated to Intune, make sure your web browser data is synchronized with your account.

Browser synchronization protects:

• Bookmarks/Favorites
• Saved passwords
• Browsing history
• Open tabs
• Extensions and settings

After the migration, signing back in to your browser will automatically restore this information.
