A technician is preparing laptops for new employees at a company. The company uses a proprietary 64-bit application and manages all computers through an Active Directory domain. Which operating system should the technician install to ensure both application compatibility and the ability to join the corporate domain?
The correct answer is Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. This edition meets both requirements specified in the scenario. First, it is a 64-bit operating system, which is necessary to run the proprietary 64-bit application. Second, Windows 10 Pro supports joining an Active Directory domain, a feature not available in Windows 10 Home. Windows 10 Home 64-bit would fail because it cannot join a domain, and any 32-bit version would fail because it cannot run the 64-bit application.
