You need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, because Windows 10 Home can not join to Azure AD https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/35017/how-to-azure-ad-join-a-windows-10-home-device.html

Agree. However, why not upgrade to Enterprise instead of Pro? Windows devices in Azure are usually Windows 10 Enterprise devices as (only) Enterprise can get automatically distributed through the Azure licensing (which can't be done with Pro).

You cannot upgrade Home to Enterprise directly, need to upgrade to Pro first.

Can confirm Home -> Pro -> Enterprise is the proper stages according to official Microsoft MD-100 study material (which doesn't have very much... almost like Microsoft is trying to make us pay for $2000 course or other books)

The correct answer is D. Upgrade the computer to Windows 10 Pro. To ensure that the user can use the fingerprint reader to sign in to the computer by using an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account on a computer that has Windows 10 Home preinstalled, you need to upgrade the computer to Windows 10 Pro. The ability to join a computer to Azure AD and use biometric authentication for sign-in is available only in Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise editions.

Chat-GPT A. Register the computer to Azure AD should be done first to ensure that the user can use the fingerprint reader to sign in to the computer by using an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account. Once the computer is registered to Azure AD, the user can set up Windows Hello for Business to enable biometric authentication for Azure AD users on the device. This will allow the user to sign in to the device using their Azure AD account and biometric authentication (fingerprint reader). Installing the latest feature updates and upgrading to Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Pro are not necessary for this scenario. However, it's important to ensure that the computer is running a version of Windows 10 that supports Windows Hello for Business and biometric authentication, which Windows 10 Home does support.

Can Windows 10 Home edition be joined to Azure AD ? Yes, Windows 10 Home edition can be joined to Azure AD, but it has some limitations. Windows 10 Home edition can only join Azure AD as a Workgroup Joined device, which means that it will not have access to all of the features and management capabilities that are available to devices that are joined to Azure AD as a domain-joined device. However, by joining a Windows 10 Home device to Azure AD, users can still use their Azure AD credentials to sign in to the device and access resources that are protected by Azure AD, such as Azure AD-joined web applications and services. To join a Windows 10 Home device to Azure AD, the user must navigate to the Settings app, select the "Accounts" category, and then select "Access work or school." From there, the user can add their Azure AD account and follow the prompts to complete the enrollment process.

I enjoy reading all the comments, but most people miss the base question, you have Windows 10 Home, yes - you will have to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro eventually, but before doing that you have to add some features and updates to be able to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro

Along with everybody else, home edition can't join to AzureAD AND since it's a user, not a corporation that is buying windows, WIndows 10 Pro would be the best answer.

CHATGPT: Explanation: To use a biometric fingerprint reader to sign in to Windows 10 using an Azure AD account, you need to have Windows Hello for Business configured. Windows Hello for Business is only available in Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Windows 10 Education. Therefore, you must upgrade the computer to Windows 10 Pro first.

Azure AD is not possible with the home version. You need the pro at least to register in Azure AD (and you can only get to the Enterprise version trough the Pro). D is correct!!

When installing a feature update, you're technically installing a new version. Therefore a complete reinstallation of Windows 10 (or Windows 11) is required. So the answer is not B

I think everyone is right that it should be upgraded, but the question is asking what you do first. Usually best practices for this kind of thing is to update a system or device.
