MD-102 Feature update profile Practice Question
You are planning the deployment of Windows 11 using Intune. Which TWO components are required to perform an in-place upgrade from Windows 10?
⚠ Common exam trap
The question states 'which THREE components are required', but only two correct options (D and E) are provided. The trap is that candidates may feel compelled to select three answers, leading them to pick an incorrect option such as A, B, or C. In reality, the question likely expects only two required components; the 'three' may be a typo or misdirection.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A Windows 11 feature update profile in Intune.
To perform an in-place upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 using Intune, you need two core components: a Windows 11 feature update profile in Intune to trigger the upgrade, and hardware that meets Windows 11 system requirements for compatibility. Although the question asks for three components, only two of the listed options are correct. A valid product key is not needed because the digital license carries forward. The Intune Management Extension is not used for feature updates, and Group Policy for Windows Update for Business is not required when using Intune's built-in update management. The third component is not applicable in this context.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A Group Policy to enable Windows Update for Business.
Why it's wrong here
A Group Policy to enable Windows Update for Business is not required because Intune manages updates via MDM policies, not Group Policy.
- ✗
A valid Windows 11 product key.
Why it's wrong here
A valid Windows 11 product key is not required for an in-place upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The digital license from Windows 10 automatically transfers. Product keys are only needed for edition upgrades (e.g., Pro to Enterprise).
- ✗
The Intune Management Extension installed on the device.
Why it's wrong here
The Intune Management Extension is used for Win32 app deployment and custom actions, not for feature updates. Feature updates are handled natively by the Windows Update client via MDM policies.
- ✓
A Windows 11 feature update profile in Intune.
Why this is correct
A Windows 11 feature update profile in Intune is required. This profile specifies the target version and deploys the feature update to eligible devices.
- ✓
Hardware that meets Windows 11 system requirements.
Why this is correct
Hardware that meets Windows 11 system requirements is required. The upgrade will fail if the device does not meet minimum hardware requirements (TPM 2.0, compatible CPU, etc.).
