MD-102 Exam - Question 159
Show AnswerHide Answer
Correct Answer: B
To perform a direct in-place upgrade to Windows 11 Enterprise, the devices need to be running a version and edition that supports this upgrade path. Device1 is running Windows 10 Home, which does not support a direct upgrade to Enterprise. Device2 is running a 32-bit version of Windows 10 Pro, and Windows 11 Enterprise requires a 64-bit architecture. Device3 is running Windows 10 Enterprise, which can be directly upgraded to Windows 11 Enterprise. Device4 is running Windows 10 Pro and can be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro, after which it can be upgraded to Enterprise. However, for the initial direct in-place upgrade consideration, Device3 and Device4 meet the criteria.

Jan 16, 2024A, the key in the question is "perform a direct in-place upgrade to Windows 11 Enterprise?" so with a Pro machine you need to then do an edition upgrade. This is why the suggested answer is A only the already Enterprise machine can be directly upgraded.

Nov 20, 2023I am not convinced you can do an in place upgrade from Windows 10 Pro to 11 Enterprise in just one step, I would think that this would need then an edition upgrade via a policy. It's hard to find the right answer What edition of Windows 11 will I get when I upgrade? What I found: The upgrade to Windows 11 is for the same edition as you have on your Windows 10 device. Devices with Windows 10 Pro installed will be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro. Devices running Windows 10 Enterprise will upgrade to Windows 11 Enterprise. Windows 11 Pro will not offer Windows 11 Pro in S mode, so you will need to switch out of S mode to upgrade.

Nov 6, 2023B. Assuming that device2 has a 32-bit processor architecture and won't be able to install a 64-bit OS, then only device3 and 4.

Nov 23, 2023You cannot do in-place upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit due to HAL. Only full/clean install can do that if the architecture supports it.

Apr 11, 2024I think is option A. I've tried Win10 Pro -> Win11 Enterprise and it remove all files and made all the OOBE like a fresh installation of Win11. Win10 Pro to Win11 Enterprise (with a volume license iso with Win11 Pro and Enterprise), the setup upgraded to Win11 Pro.
