Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Note: Once the Windows 10 upgrade is complete the key in plain text is removed, and then BitLocker will enable again automatically. This means that the
Windows 10 upgrade process on a device using BitLocker is the same to a device without using the security feature
Incorrect:
Not Computer1 or Computer3:
Changing from Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 x86 to Windows 10 x64. The upgrade process cannot change from a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit operating system, because of possible complications with installed applications and drivers.

A is correct You cannot in place upgrade Windows when you are changing from 32bit to 64bit architecture. A wipe and load would have to be done in this case. Bitlocker will be suspended during inplace upgrade so that is a non issue

Wrong Only computer 4. Question says "in their current state" Device 2 cannot go from current state directly to windows 10. Therefore only device 4 is the correct answer.

Selected Answer: A
Answer A is correct. If you're using BitLocker Disk Encryption, then by default Windows Setup automatically suspends it during upgrade. Starting in Windows 10 version 1803, Windows Setup includes the /BitLocker command-line parameter to control this behavior.

You cannot changing from Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 x86 to Windows 10 x64. The upgrade process cannot change from a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit operating system, because of possible complications with installed applications and drivers. 2 and 4 only

A is correct. x64 need 2GB of memory. And you can not upgrade a 32 bit system to 64 bit.

correct option is computer 2 & 4 the reason is the memory you can upgrade from 32bit to 64bit (as we did it in my environment) but wont on computer 1 & 3 because of the minimum requirements (even though you can its not recommended my Microsoft)

Partially correct; it certainly is not possible to do an in-place upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. If it was possible, it should be E in your case, as 64-bit requires at least 2GB, which computer3 has.

On the link provided (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-10-deployment-scenarios) with the solution you have all the answers: - ... While devices encrypted with BitLocker can easily be upgraded.... - The upgrade process cannot change from a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit operating system, because of possible complications with installed applications and drivers. Therefore A (Cumputer 2 and Computer 4 only) is correct

you cannot do in place upgrade from 32 to 64bits OS. Reference below. If you have a desktop or laptop running the 32-bit version, you can upgrade to the 64-bit version without acquiring a new license. The only caveat is that there is no in-place upgrade path to make the switch, making a clean installation of Windows 10 the only viable option.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjVrra95-DtAhWR7XMBHcM_CEQQFjABegQIBhAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.windowscentral.com%2Fhow-upgrade-32-bit-64-bit-version-windows-10&usg=AOvVaw1ZaGYzaOlYJqIKssyvm_T4

In the current state bitlocker is enabled on comp 2, so cannot upgrade. To upgrade a machine from W7 and W10 with bitlocker enabled, you need to suspend bitlocker. So the correct answer should be B if you aks me.

Dave4187 and Santosh4u are correct. Bitlocker is disabled by the inplace upgrade process and restored when it is finished. see: https://superuser.com/questions/942969/can-i-upgrade-to-windows-10-with-bitlocker-enabled

I go with A - however the question actually says which can you "upgrade". Not Inplace upgrade.... they are so picky on other questions - why not this one?
