Helping software companies harness the power of hands-on product experience with a high-focus, distraction-free environment to educate and inspire people about their technologies at scale.
HILVERSUM, Netherlands, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Instruqt, a next-generation hands-on virtual IT labs platform for software adoption, is pleased to announce it has added native support for Windows-based virtual machines. Windows-based virtual machines will have feature parity with Linux-based hosts.
Hands-on labs built on Instruqt are highly regarded for their clutter-free layout and pleasing design. In addition, the holistic environment ensures that the instructions and related content are easily discoverable and accessible in a simple interface.
Software companies use Instruqt to create hands-on product tours, demos, workshops, and training to inspire and educate people about their technologies at scale. "The Instruqt platform has a strong focus on user experience design. As a result, our customers sell more, market, and train better with Instruqt as the labs built on our platform increase engagement and knowledge retention," Coert Baart, CEO of Instruqt.
With this release content creators on Instruqt can now:
- Use Windows-based virtual machines in the lab environment – Simply add the Windows-based virtual machine to the sandbox configuration, just like the Linux-based VMs. And it is possible to combine Windows VMs with other sandbox resources.
- Use PowerShell to write lifecycle scripts – Instruqt users can now create PowerShell-based lifecycle scripts that run directly on the Windows VM. This enables better integration with the Windows ecosystem and allows for easier ways to set up and check sandbox environments.
- Run PowerShell based terminals – Terminal tabs now also support Windows hosts. Give users access to an interactive PowerShell session on Windows VMs.
- Use the built-in file editor that supports Windows-based file systems – The editor gives users an easy way to view and edit text-based files, like log or configuration files.

For software companies, explaining the features and values of their product is crucial to sales, marketing, and customer success. Nothing beats hands-on experience in the live environment for product adoption. Instruqt made the hands-on labs more accessible and engaging so revenue teams could reach a wider audience and knock down the barriers to adoption.
