Microsoft MD-100 Certification: Windows 10 teaches you how to install, set up, secure and maintain Windows 10 computers.

What you will learn

  • Install Windows 10 Enterprise in a virtual lab
  • Fix failed installs using setup logs
  • Set locales, customise settings and manage Microsoft Edge
  • Add and manage local users and groups
  • Control file access with NTFS permissions
  • Configure local and audit policies to protect devices
  • Set a static TCP/IP address, configure network adapters and set up a VPN
  • Back up files, manage updates, add features and monitor Windows

Windows 10 is still used on many work computers. Knowing how to install it, lock it down and keep it running is a core skill for any support role.

Course outline

  1. Introduction and deploy Windows: the exam, deploying Windows 10, building a virtual lab, installing Windows 10 Enterprise, troubleshooting installs, locales, post-install set-up and Microsoft Edge
  2. Manage devices and data: local users, groups and devices, data access and protection, NTFS permissions, local policies, audit policies, Windows security and account settings
  3. Configure connectivity: networking, network adapter properties, static TCP/IP, connection details, VPN connections, remote connectivity and remote management
  4. Maintain Windows: system and data recovery, file backup, the Recycle Bin, updates, hardware set-up, monitoring, desktop options and new features

Most lessons are shown live in a virtual lab, so you can watch each setting being changed. You can build the same lab on your own computer and copy every step. This practice is what turns the theory into skills you can use on a help desk.

Who this course is for

  • IT support technicians and help desk staff
  • Desktop support analysts
  • Windows support specialists
  • System and network administrators who manage Windows PCs
  • Learners building towards MD-102 Endpoint Administrator

Before you start

You should be comfortable using Windows and know basic networking terms such as IP address and DNS. A spare computer or a virtual machine tool will let you copy the lab steps. No earlier certification is needed. If you are brand new to IT, a CompTIA A+ course first will make this one easier.

About the MD-100 exam

MD-100: Windows Client was a Microsoft exam for desktop support staff. Microsoft retired it on 30 September 2023. The exam that now leads to the Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate certification is MD-102.
