It should be fine. But Microsoft doesn't like old tools. A reference from the official book: "The in-place upgrade process works well and is now the recommended deployment method Microsoft suggests for upgrading devices that run Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Upgrade Windows 10 using enterprise tools An enterprise that needs to upgrade existing devices will typically use tools that allow the process to be automated, with multiple devices being upgraded simultaneously. Two of the most common tools for an enterprise to use are Windows Deployment Services (WDS) and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit."

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/deploy-windows-mdt/get-started-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit why not WDS? However, MDT could be a correct answer.

Essa questão ficou muito dividida no gabarito, afinal qual seria a resposta e qual a justificativa? Após um debate de 3 comentários, o gabarito é o mesmo ou não?

It's no different than trying an in-place upgrade via booting from a Windows image. The upgrade option will tell you to boot into Windows to perform an upgrade if memory serves me correctly.

I agree with b3arb0yb1m here. All PXE booting does is boot an ISO, so if you take Rufus and boot from an ISO, that's the same as doing it over PXE and there is an upgrade option when you boot from the ISO. You can either do a clean install or upgrade. Not the way that I or anyone else would do in-place upgrades, but it's an option.

B is the correct answer. The in-place-upgrade deployment of Windows 10 is categorized as a "modern deployment method" and is supported using MDT and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, which both have in-place-upgrade task sequence templates. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-10-deployment-scenarios

I think WDS is only for OS deployment from scratch. You need to use a disk or MDT or SCCM to do in-plane upgrade. I don't see any info about saving user settings and documents. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/hh831764(v=ws.11)
