CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 335

After purchasing an Ultrabook, Ann, a home user, has a technician come to her home and install an operating system.
Which of the following OS installation methods will the technician MOST likely use?

Answer options

• A. Flash drive
• B. PXE
• C. Optical disc
• D. Cloned drive

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The technician is most likely to use a Flash drive for the OS installation due to its portability and speed. PXE is typically used in network environments, while optical discs are becoming less common due to the lack of drives in newer Ultrabooks. Cloned drives are used for system replication rather than fresh installations.
