CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 341

A technician needs to install Windows 10 on a 4TB hard drive. Which of the following should the technician perform to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Format the drive to use exFAT.
• B. Configure the drive to use the GPT.
• C. Configure the drive to use an MBR.
• D. Format the drive to use CDFS.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

To install Windows 10 on a 4TB hard drive, the drive must be configured with the GPT (GUID Partition Table) since it supports larger drives and more partitions compared to MBR (Master Boot Record). Option A, exFAT, and option D, CDFS, are not suitable file systems for a Windows installation, while option C would limit the drive's usability due to MBR's restrictions.
