Which of the following is the quickest way to move from Windows 10 to Windows 11 without losing data?
The correct answer is D. In-place upgrade. An in-place upgrade directly installs Windows 11 over the existing Windows 10 installation, preserving user files, applications, and settings. It's much faster than capturing and redeploying an image, and it avoids the data loss risk of a clean install.
