CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 3

A technician is in the process of upgrading Windows 8 to Windows 10. The technician needs to make sure all of the applications, user profiles, documents, and
PST files are preserved.
Which of the following methods would the technician MOST likely perform on the computer?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, In-place upgrade, as this method allows for the preservation of applications, user profiles, and files during the upgrade process. A Clean installation would erase existing data, while an Unattended installation and Refresh upgrade do not specifically guarantee the retention of all user data and applications.
