  4. I am also seeking to find what is the best recommendation in migrating Autopilot devices that are assigned the Company Portal app from the old Microsoft Store for Business to the new Company Portal app in the new Microsoft Store. Having 14K devices on the old MS Store version is something we dont want to create a poor user experience when migrating.
