all of the rights and permissions to any resource that Rick had access to. See Chapter 6 for more information.

      20. A, C. Only administrators can create new groups on a Windows 10 computer. Group names can contain up to 256 characters and can contain spaces. Group names must be unique to the computer, different from all the other usernames and group names that have been specified on that computer. See Chapter 9 for more information.

      21. A, C. You can create a spanned volume from free space that exists on a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 32 physical drives. When the spanned volume is initially created in Windows 10,it can be formatted with FAT32 or NTFS. If you extend a volume that already contains data, however, the partition must be NTFS. See Chapter 4 for more information.

      22. D. When both NTFS and share permissions have been applied, the system looks at the effective rights for NTFS and share permissions and then applies the most restrictive of the cumulative permissions. If a resource has been shared and you access it from the local computer where the resource resides, then you will be governed only by the NTFS permission. See Chapter 6 for more information.

      23. A. Port 25 should be opened on the firewall. SMTP is used for outbound mail and uses port 25. POP3, which is used for receiving inbound mail, uses port 110. See Chapter 7 for more information.

      24. B. You should configure the bcdedit utility to configure your boot order. See Chapter 1 for more information.

      25. B, D. You can upgrade Windows 8 Professional and Windows 8 Enterprise to Windows 10 Enterprise edition. See Chapter 1 for more information.

      26. A, B, C. Using Parental Controls, you can configure which websites your children can access, when they can use the computer, which games they can play, and which programs they can run, and you can view reports regarding their activity. See Chapter 5 for more information.

      27. C. During the boot process, you are prompted to press F8 to access the Advanced Boot Options menu. See Chapter 10 for more information.

      28. A. If you need to disable previous versions on the D: volume, this needs to be done from the System Protection settings from the computer system properties. See Chapter 10 for more information.

      29. D. The Convert utility is used to convert a FAT32 partition to NTFS. See Chapter 4 for more information.

      30. B. Applications that are developed by a company and are not signed by the Windows Store can be installed by the process of sideloading. Sideloading allows companies to load applications into the Windows Store for deployment throughout a company. See Chapter 8 for more information.

This book is for exam 70-698, and even though it’s a higher exam number, this is the first of two MCSA Windows 10 exams (70-698 and 70-697). If you are using both of the Sybex books for the Windows 10 MCSA, you will notice that many of the topics in these books are the same in both books. The reason for this is that no matter what test you take, installing Windows 10 is the same. It has the same control panel, the same applications, and the same way to configure the operating system.

      So let me be the first to welcome you to Windows 10 and the beginning of a new journey. But as with the start of any journey, we must take our first steps. The first steps for this exam involves learning about the Windows 10 installation process. It is important that you understand the different versions of Windows 10 and which one is right for you and your organization.

      In this chapter, I will show you the many different features of Windows 10 and then I will describe each edition. I will then show you how to install Windows 10 and also how to do an upgrade from a previous version.

      Before you can install Windows 10, you must first make sure your hardware meets the minimum requirements and that your hardware is supported by the operating system. After we install the Windows 10 operating system, I will show you how to get upgrades for the Windows 10 system.

      Understanding the Basics

      Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of Microsoft’s client operating system software. Windows 10 combines the best of Windows 7 and Windows 8, and it also makes it much easier to work within the cloud.

      Microsoft has currently released six different versions of the Windows 10 operating system along with the announcement of a seventh:

      ■ Windows 10 Home

      ■ Windows 10 Professional

      ■ Windows 10 Enterprise

      ■ Windows 10 Education

      ■ Windows 10 Mobility

      ■ Windows 10 Mobility Enterprise

      ■ Windows 10 Anniversary Edition

      

At the time this book was written, Windows 10 Anniversary Edition had not been released yet. Microsoft has stated that this version will be released by the end of 2016.

      Microsoft also offers a slimmed-down version of some of these operating systems called “Windows 10 IoT Core.” This version is one of the above Windows 10 versions that doesn’t require a monitor or system. For example, you are building a toy robot and you want to load Windows 10 into his core computer. You can use the IoT versions to run the robot’s functionality.

      Windows 10 has been improved in many of the weak areas that plagued Windows 8. Windows 10 has a much faster boot time and shutdown compared to Windows 8. It also brings back the – Start button that we are all so familiar with from previous editions.

      The Windows 10 operating system functions are also faster than their previous counterparts. The processes for opening, moving, extracting, compressing, and installing files and folders are more efficient than they were in previous versions of Microsoft’s client operating systems.

Let’s take a look at some of the features of each Windows 10 edition (this is just an overview of some of the benefits to using Windows 10). Table 1.1 shows some of the "core experience" for each edition.

      

Two of the versions listed previously, Windows 10 Mobility and Windows 10 Mobility Enterprise, will not be covered in great detail in this book. If you go to Microsoft’s website, you will see both listed and you can see what each offers. But neither of them can be put onto a network, so I don’t cover them in this book unless applies to an exam objective.
