The tasks and information covered are designed for IT professionals supporting clients and devices within an organization.

The course helps prepare for exam MD-100. This course the first of two courses supporting the Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate certification. It is recommended that students complete this course prior to taking course MD-101 - Managing Modern Desktops.

Windows is continuously updated with new features and capabilities, and offers new methods of deployment, management, and integration with today's cloud technologies. Windows 11 is the newest client operating system, released in October 2021. Windows 11 is built on the same foundation as Windows 10 and is a natural transition and update to those already familiar with Windows 10. While Windows 11 represents a significant change to the user experience, the technologies and processes needed to manage Windows 10 also apply to Windows 11. While this course uses Windows 10 in many examples, it has been updated to cover the differences introduced in Windows 11. The skills learned in this course will generally apply to both versions, unless otherwise specified.

Throughout the course MD-100: Windows Client, you will be provided with the opportunity of completing a series of hands-on labs that will test your ability to perform tasks in the software.
