How do I get Windows 10 certification?
Passing both the MD-100 and MD-101 exams earns you Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate certification. This role-based cert validates the knowledge and skills need to perform common desktop admin skills.
Microsoft clearly strived to map the new certification to common tasks and roles performed by Windows 10 admins. They also made a more concentrated effort to have each exam cover unique material.
Here’s a look at the core topics covered on each of the new exams:
- Exam MD-100: Windows 10
- Deploying Windows 10
- Post-installation configuration
- Manage devices and data
- Networking
- System maintenance
Exam MD-101: Managing Modern Desktops
- Deployment with Windows 10 Autopilot
- Upgrading to Windows 10
- Group policies and profile management
- Windows Intune
- Device security
- Application deployment and updates
- Mobile Application Management
Notice how these exams are much more precise and efficient in their scope than the 70–697 and 698 exams. For instance, Windows 10 in the Enterprise (including Active Directory) is not the major focus. This content is much more appropriate in the Server Certification category.
There is much less overlap in the two exams and a much greater focus on the topics that matter to us as Windows 10 support engineers or power users.
