A desktop technician is tasked with performing an in-place upgrade on several corporate workstations from 64-bit Windows 10 Pro to 64-bit Windows 11 Pro. During pre-upgrade inspection, the technician discovers that the system disks use the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition style and the machines are currently booting via Legacy BIOS. Company policy requires that all existing user files, installed applications, and local configurations must be preserved during the transition. Which of the following actions must the technician take first to satisfy Windows 11 installation prerequisites without losing data?
- Run the MBR2GPT command-line utility to convert the partition structure, and then reconfigure the system firmware from Legacy BIOS to UEFI mode.Cevap
- BLaunch the Windows 11 setup installer directly, allowing the setup engine to automatically convert the drive from MBR to GPT during the initial reboot phase.
- CExecute the sfc /scannow command followed by dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth to update boot Sector parameters to GPT.
- DUpgrade the OS edition from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise using a generic product key prior to initiating the Windows 11 installation wizard.
Cevap
Convert the partition structure using the MBR2GPT tool and change the system firmware mode from Legacy BIOS to UEFI.
Windows 11 mandates UEFI firmware and a GPT disk partition style. The MBR2GPT utility allows administrators to convert a Windows 10 system disk from Master Boot Record (MBR) to GUID Partition Table (GPT) without modifying or deleting data on the disk. After conversion, changing the motherboard firmware from Legacy BIOS mode to UEFI enables the system to boot properly and meet all Windows 11 in-place upgrade prerequisites.
