    Hi,
    Quote from this blog: mcsa-mcsd-mcse-certifications-retire-with-continued-investment


    If you’re working towards a MCSA, MCSD, or MCSE certification, you’ll want to pass all required exams before they retire. The list below shows existing exams that will retire. Note that training content may continue to be available in these areas even after the exams have retired.

    If you have an existing MCSA, MCSD, and MCSE certification, it will remain on your Microsoft transcript, even after the exams retire. In fact, it will remain in the active section of your transcript for two years from January 31, 2020; at that time the certification will be moved to the “inactive” section of your transcript.

    If you currently hold a MCSA, MCSD, or MCSE certification, why not update your profile with one of our new role-based certifications that may be relevant to you. Check out our recommended role-based certifications:

    So I recommend you pass the exam and get the certificates before they retire, and your Microsoft transcript will remain in the active section for two years from January 31, 2020. And during this period, you can get other certifications and update your profile.
    And if you also have questions about certifications, post your questions here : Certification_SupportForum
    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
    Best Regards,
    Carl
