MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Which THREE prerequisites are required to enable Windows Autopilot for existing devices?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume TPM 2.0 is universally required for all Autopilot scenarios, but it is only mandatory for self-deploying mode and pre-provisioning, not for user-driven Autopilot on existing devices.
Answer choices

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The device must be running Windows 10 or Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education edition
Windows Autopilot requires a supported edition of Windows 10 or Windows 11 (Pro, Enterprise, or Education) to access the necessary cloud-based provisioning and enrollment features. Home editions lack the required MDM enrollment capabilities and policy support, making them incompatible with Autopilot deployment.
