CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 82

Which of the following Microsoft operating systems defaults to a tiled menu instead of the desktop?

Answer options

• A. Windows 7
• B. Windows 8
• C. Windows 8.1
• D. Windows 10

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Windows 8 was designed with a focus on touch interfaces and introduced the Start Screen with tiles, moving away from the traditional desktop setup. Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 either retained a desktop focus or reverted to more conventional layouts, making them incorrect for this question.
