A company needs to deploy a proprietary 64-bit application on new employee laptops. The laptops must also join the organization's on-premises Active Directory domain, and the firm buys its Windows licenses through standard retail/OEM channels (it has no Microsoft volume-licensing agreement). Which Windows 10 edition and architecture should you install to meet all of these requirements?
The application demands a 64-bit operating system-64-bit software cannot run on 32-bit Windows .
Only the Pro, Pro for Workstations, and Enterprise editions can join an Active Directory domain; Home editions cannot .
Enterprise is ordinarily distributed only through volume licensing, which the company does not have, leaving Pro as the viable retail/OEM option. Therefore Windows 10 Pro 64-bit satisfies the architecture, domain-join, and licensing constraints, whereas the other options fail on at least one point.
