This book is intended for IT pros who are seeking certification in the 70-698 Installing and Configuring Windows 10 exam. These professionals typically administer and support Windows 10 devices in corporate, Windows Server domain-based environments with managed access to the Internet and cloud services. The book is also intended to provide skills for Enterprise Device Support Technicians (EDSTs), who provide Tier 2 support to users of Windows 10 in medium-to-large enterprise organizations.

To get the most from this book, you should have at least two years of experience in the IT field and should already have the following technical knowledge.

Networking fundamentals, including Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Domain Name System (DNS).

Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) principles.

Some experience with Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2012 R2.

Experience with a Microsoft Windows client; for example, a working knowledge of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.

Skills covered by reading this book include the following.

Install, upgrade, and customize Windows 10.

Manage apps.

Configure storage.

Configure network connectivity.

Configure data security, device security, and network security.

Maintain, update, and recover Windows 10.

We expect Windows 10 to continue evolving through regular upgrades, and you should ensure that your study is supplemented with practical experience, using the latest build of Windows 10, because new features are likely to be included in the exam.

This book covers every major topic area found on the exam, but it does not cover every exam question. Only the Microsoft exam team has access to the exam questions, and Microsoft regularly adds new questions to the exam, making it impossible to cover specific questions. You should consider this book a supplement to your relevant real-world experience and other study materials. If you encounter a topic in this book that you do not feel completely comfortable with, use the Need more review? links youll find in the text to find more information and take the time to research and study the topic. Great information is available on MSDN and TechNet and in blogs and forums.
