QUESTION 16

A support specialist needs to decide whether to install a 32-bit or 64-bit OS architecture on a new computer. Which of the following specifications will help the specialist determine which OS architecture to use?

Correct Answer: A
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
The amount of installed RAM is the key factor in determining whether a 64-bit OS is needed. A 32-bit operating system cannot effectively address more than 4GB of RAM. Since this system has 16GB of RAM, a 64-bit OS is required to utilize the full memory.
* B. An Intel i7 CPU supports both 32-bit and 64-bit OS installations, so it alone doesn??t determine the need.
* C. HDD size does not influence OS architecture selection.
* D. Ethernet speed is a network consideration and not related to OS architecture. Reference:
CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Objective 1.4: Given a scenario, choose the appropriate Microsoft OS installation methods and configurations.

QUESTION 17

A user frequently misplaces their Windows laptop and is concerned about it being stolen. The user would like additional security controls on their laptop. Which of the following is a built-in technology that a technician can use to enable full drive encryption?

Correct Answer: D
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract: BitLocker is Microsoft??s full disk encryption technology built into Windows Pro and Enterprise editions.

* A. Active Directory is for centralized user and policy management in domains.
* B. NTFS is the file system format and doesn't provide encryption by itself.
* C. EFS (Encrypting File System) encrypts individual files or folders, not the entire drive. Reference:
CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Objective 2.2: Compare and contrast security measures and encryption tools.
