MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Which THREE factors should you consider when planning the deployment of Windows 10 feature updates using Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse update ring availability with OS version, assuming older Windows 10 versions lack ring support, when in fact all Windows 10 versions (1507 and later) support update rings, and the compatibility report is not limited to Windows 11.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Devices must have sufficient disk space to download the update.
Windows 10 feature updates require sufficient free disk space (typically 20–32 GB depending on the version) to download and stage the update files. If a device lacks adequate space, the update will fail or be blocked by Intune's update readiness checks, which evaluate disk space before initiating the deployment.
