A IT support technician is tasked with upgrading a workstation currently running a 32-bit edition of Windows 7 Home Premium to 64-bit Windows 10 Pro. The user requests an in-place upgrade so that all existing applications and user settings are preserved without needing a reinstall. Which of the following statements accurately describes the required installation procedure?
- An in-place upgrade across different processor architectures is unsupported, requiring a backup of user data followed by a clean installation of 64-bit Windows 10 Pro.Cevap
- BAn in-place upgrade can be executed directly by running the 64-bit Windows 10 Pro installation media setup file from within the existing 32-bit Windows 7 desktop.
- CThe workstation must first undergo an in-place upgrade to 32-bit Windows 10 Home, after which running the command setup.exe /64bit will migrate the system architecture.
- DThe operating system can be upgraded in-place to 64-bit Windows 10 Pro once BitLocker Drive Encryption and Remote Desktop features are enabled in the Windows 7 Control Panel.
Cevap
An in-place upgrade across different processor architectures (32-bit to 64-bit) is not supported by Microsoft Windows. The technician must back up user data and applications, reformat or repartition the drive, and perform a clean installation of 64-bit Windows 10 Pro.
Microsoft Windows does not support in-place upgrades between 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) architectures. To transition from a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit operating system, a clean installation must be performed, requiring backups of files and reinstallation of applications.
