Agree, if you read the following article from Microsoft you can verify that no hybrid-joined device is needed for subscription activation. I think this is the most discussed point in the comments. So yes, even with on-Prem AD-Joined devices it will activate as Windows 10 Enterprise. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-10-subscription-activation 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.

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/

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.

You said "We, of course, could assume that AD Connect is configured to SYNC AD devices to Azure, but we can also assume it is not.". THERE IS NOTHING TO ASSUME. The scenario clearly states "...sync to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)." Therefore AD Connect is configured. Device2 - "Will activate as Windows 10 Enterprise"

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.

But device2 will actually just ACTIVATE as Enterprise. For example I had a Windows 10 Home, bought a Pro license, applied it and it just activated as 10 Pro. Of course I've got more features but there was not any visible "upgrade".

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.

The given information states: "Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory domain named contoso.com that syncs to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)." That is a Hybrid AD Domain.

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."
