CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 461

A desktop technician is attempting to upgrade several machines to Windows 10. After realizing there is only one disc for the installation, the technician decides to upgrade over the network.
Which of the following boot methods initiates such an upgrade?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, PXE, which stands for Preboot Execution Environment. PXE allows a computer to boot from the network, making it suitable for installations when only one disc is available. The other options, SSD, Optical drive, and Flash drive, do not facilitate network-based installations.
