So, can you directly migrate Google Forms to Microsoft Forms? No, Microsoft does not provide a direct import option to move your Google Forms, but there are indirect options that you can use. But to do that, you need Manual recreation of forms, exporting responses, rebuilding logic and workflows, or using a professional migration solution.
