Introduction to Installing and Configuring Windows 10 and Configuring Windows Devices
by Glenn Weadock
The two Windows 10 learning tracks present different views of the Windows 10 curriculum and are built on different Microsoft outlines. In this mini-course, you'll examine the topics in each track, how they overlap, and how they differ.
What you'll learn
Microsoft's outlines for Windows 10 certification cover two learning tracks: the 70-698 track titled, Installing and Configuring Windows 10, and the 70-697 track titled, Configuring Windows 10 Devices. In this mini-course, Introduction to Installing and Configuring Windows 10 and Configuring Windows Devices, you'll be guided through both tracks and synopses of the courses. First, you'll explore how the two areas overlap. Then, you'll learn where the two learning tracks differ in terms of both content and emphasis. Finally, you'll cover study recommendations for both IT administrators and exam candidates. By the end of this mini-course, you'll have the necessary knowledge to efficiently install and configure Windows 10 and Windows devices.
