CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 161

A technician is setting up a new workstation. The technician wants to make sure the workstation will not load the OS if a portable hard drive is connected to it.
Which of the following should the technician configure?

Answer options

• A. Trusted Platform Module
• B. Secure boot
• C. Legacy mode
• D. Drive encryption

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as configuring Legacy mode will prevent the system from booting from external devices like a portable hard drive. Options A and B relate to security features that do not address boot priorities, while D concerns data security rather than boot configuration.
