A desktop support technician is requested to perform an upgrade on a workstation currently running a 32-bit version of Windows 10 Home. The user wants to retain all installed applications and user settings while migrating to 64-bit Windows 11 Pro to access domain joining and encryption capabilities. What should the technician communicate to the user regarding the required installation procedure?
- An in-place upgrade cannot be performed when changing CPU architecture from 32-bit to 64-bit; a clean installation must be executed after backing up user files.Cevap
- BAn in-place upgrade can be completed directly using Windows 11 Pro media, which will automatically migrate 32-bit application binaries into the 64-bit system architecture.
- CThe operating system must first undergo an edition upgrade to 32-bit Windows 10 Pro within Control Panel, which will unlock the 64-bit installation option for Windows 11.
- DA repair installation can be launched from within the existing Windows 10 Home desktop environment using 64-bit media executed with administrative privileges.
Cevap
An in-place upgrade cannot be performed when changing CPU architecture from 32-bit to 64-bit; a clean installation must be executed after backing up user files.
Moving from a 32-bit operating system architecture to a 64-bit architecture cannot be achieved via an in-place upgrade. Windows setup requires booting from installation media and executing a clean install, which formats the target partition. User files must be backed up externally prior to installation, and applications must be manually reinstalled afterward.
