Exam MD-101 topic 2 question 64 discussion

Device1 is Windows 8.1 - Will not upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise Device2 is Windows 10 Pro- Will activate as Windows 10 Enterprise

Device 1: does not upgrade Device 2: Will activate as Windows 10 Enterprise because AD is on "Hybrid joined" to Azure. Devices will automatically join Azure AD and will be labelled as "Hybrid joined" devices. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/deploy-enterprise-licenses https://www.orbid365.be/hybrid-azure-ad-join-p1/

Correct

Overthinking this question - tested this in my lab and the provided answers are correct.

This link shows tables which indicate you CAN UPGRADE BOTH IN PLACE and KEEP THE SETTINGS, FILES, ETC..... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/windows-10-upgrade-paths

Can moderators please speak to whoever provided these answers and tell him to retake the exam as I am pretty sure whoever provided these answer did no pass if they used the answers provided here

Subscription Activation for Windows 10/11 Enterprise Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 and Windows 10/11 Enterprise E5 are available as online services via subscription. Deploying Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 11 Enterprise in your organization can now be accomplished with no keys and no reboots. If you are running Windows 10, version 1703 or later: Devices with a current Windows 10 Pro license or Windows 11 Pro license can be seamlessly upgraded to Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 11 Enterprise, respectively. Product key-based Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 11 Enterprise software licenses can be transitioned to Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 11 Enterprise subscriptions. Organizations that have an Enterprise agreement can also benefit from the new service, using traditional Active Directory-joined devices. In this scenario, the Active Directory user that signs in on their device must be synchronized with Azure AD using Azure AD Connect Sync.

To much Comments on different answers here... I'll give here my two cents after reading all the comments. As most of the time if you miss one word from the sentence you can interpreter the answer however you want... Device1 - for sure "Will not upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise" Device2 - here's where most depates are currently is... I state several facts: "on-premises Active Directory domain named contoso.com that syncs to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)" - so User1 will be synced to AAD for sure - everyone agrees here. "A user named User1 uses the domain-joined devices shown in the following table" - Please note "DOMAIN-JOINED" phrase (NOT Azure Joined, NOT Azure Registered, NOT Hybrid Azure AD Joined as someone assumed and mentioned = DOMAIN-JOINED). We, of course, could assume that AD Connect is configured to SYNC AD devices to Azure, but we can also assume it is not. Based on my last two sentences I'm sticking with: Device2 - "Will not upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise" As always - do your own research with all the questions/answers and stick to the answer you think fits the best. Good luck with the exam.

this is the reason i read the comments, im sure this answer was entered wrong on purpose

Reversed as responses. Device1 which is a Windows 8.1, will not upgrade to Windows 10. Device2, Windows 10 Pro, will upgrade to Windows Enterprise version (depending on W10Pro build). I tested it in Lab and it worked using a 21H2.

Now i think both devices won't upgrade. When the network syncs to AAD this is for user accounts and has nothing to do with devices.

I have -W10 Ent Domain-Joined device, it doesn't activate -W10 Ent Hybrid-Joined device, it activates The question doesn't say the device is Hybrid-joined, so I would say it doesn't activate.

Subscription Activation Windows 10 Subscription Activation allows you to automati- cally upgrade devices with Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise without needing to enter a product key or perform a restart.

If you are running Windows 10, version 1703 or later: Devices with a current Windows 10 Pro license can be seamlessly upgraded to Windows 10 Enterprise. Product key-based Windows 10 Enterprise software licenses can be transitioned to Windows 10 Enterprise subscriptions.

Both Devices are Joined to On-Prem AD., not to AzureAD. For subscription activation to work, a device has to be joined to Azure AD. And I do not think Windows 8.1 machine will get 10 Enperprse automatically when a user logs in even if it was azure AD joined. So answers are Will not upgrade to windows 10 enterprise.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2017/01/19/new-windows-10-upgrade-benefits-windows-cloud-subscriptions-csp/ Windows 8.1 will be upgraded to 10 enterprise only if this is explicitly done by an admin in the azure portal. This isnt stated, so user one wont see any upgrade taking place. on Device 2 im not sure, is synced the same as Azure AD joined? It will also depend if the windows 10 deployment is 1703 or above. Since its synced, im taking it is also a hybrid environment (which is NOT stated), which would mean it will automatically upgrade to 10 enterprise. If Synced = azure hybrid AD joined, then the device will upgrade (automatically) to windows 10: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-10-subscription-activation "Devices must be Azure AD-joined or Hybrid Azure AD joined. Workgroup-joined or Azure AD registered devices are not supported."

Device 1 : no effect - "Modern Subscrition activation" only applied on Win 10 PRO, ENT, EDU. device 2 : activate to Win10 ENT : "Modern Subscrition activation" is supported on both Azure AD join and Azure AD hybride Join Devices.
