Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security (legacy) — Question 3

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains 100 Windows 8.1 devices.
You plan to deploy a custom Windows 10 Enterprise image to the Windows 8.1 devices.
You need to recommend a Windows 10 deployment method.
What should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. a provisioning package
• B. an in-place upgrade
• C. wipe and load refresh
• D. Windows Autopilot

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, wipe and load refresh, as it allows for a clean installation of Windows 10 over the existing Windows 8.1 setup, ensuring that the custom image is applied correctly. An in-place upgrade (B) is not suitable for deploying a custom image, while Windows Autopilot (D) is more suited for new devices rather than upgrading existing ones. A provisioning package (A) is typically used for configuring settings and applications rather than deploying a full operating system.
