A desktop support technician is tasked with upgrading an existing workstation running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro. The system currently uses Legacy BIOS boot mode with a Master Boot Record (MBR) disk layout. To meet Windows 11 system requirements, the technician must convert the system disk to GUID Partition Table (GPT) and enable UEFI mode with Secure Boot before performing an in-place upgrade, all while preserving user files and applications. Place the required steps in the correct sequential order from first to last.
- 1Execute `mbr2gpt /validate /allowFullOS` from an elevated command prompt.
- 2Execute `mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOS` from an elevated command prompt.
- 3Restart the system into firmware configuration, disable CSM (Legacy BIOS mode), and enable UEFI Boot with Secure Boot.
- 4Boot into Windows 10 and launch the Windows 11 installation setup media to perform the in-place OS upgrade.
Cevap
The correct sequence begins with validating the disk layout using `mbr2gpt /validate`, followed by executing the disk conversion with `mbr2gpt /convert`, updating system firmware from Legacy BIOS to UEFI with Secure Boot enabled, and finally executing the Windows 11 installation setup to complete the in-place upgrade.
The disk must first be validated using `mbr2gpt /validate /allowFullOS` to verify layout compliance. Next, `mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOS` changes the partition table from MBR to GPT. Immediately after conversion, the system must be rebooted into firmware to switch from Legacy BIOS/CSM mode to native UEFI with Secure Boot. Finally, with UEFI mode active and GPT established, the technician boots Windows and launches Windows 11 setup to perform the in-place upgrade.
