    Hi, All.

    I'm newbie here and just wanted to ask about MCSA Certification.

    Let's say I have passed already the 70-685 Windows 7, Enterprise Desktop Support Technician, can I substitute 70-681 Windows 7 and Office 2010 to 70-680 Windows 7, Configuring when obtaining Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate?

    Thanks!

    I would suggest log-in to the MCP portal and use the certificate planner tool. Very intuitive

    -OR-

    Install Training and Certification Guide app

    Hi, Canara.

    I am assuming you'd like to earn the MCSA: Windows 7 certification. There are actually seven(7) different MCSA certifications available, as shown here:
    https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-certification.aspx

    The MCSA: Windows 7 certification is described here:
    https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-7-certification.aspx

    As the web pages describes, you must pass exams 70-680 and 70-685.

    Optionally, you can pass 70-686 instead of 70-685 to earn this MCSA certification title.

    Those are your only options.

    NOTE: You may need to copy/paste these links into a different browser for them to be seen. Try IE, Chrome, or Firefox.

    Good luck!

    Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

    Hey,

    There are seven MCSA certification available. You must have to pass the 70-680 and 70-685 exams. 

    You can also pass 70-686 without have to clear 70-685 for MCSA certification. 

    But its not that mush easy to clear MCSA certification. You have to attend a training program. I have attended a training program from Koenig Solutions (provides training on all popular IT certifications) and after that I cleared this certification

    Hi,

    You definitely know what I want to talk about, I'd like to earn MCSA: Windows 7

    It means, if I wanted it (MCSA: Windows 7) to obtain, it's mandatory to passed 70-680 and either of two of 70-685/ 70-686.

    Thanks to all who answered to my question...
