CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 150

A technician is installing a USB Wi-Fi card. Which of the following would be the MOST appropriate way for the technician to receive the latest official drivers for the device?

Answer options

• A. Download the drivers from the vendor's website.
• B. Allow the OS to install the drivers automatically.
• C. Utilize a third-party, non-OEM driver.
• D. Run the autoinstall CD.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best option is to download the drivers from the vendor's website, as it ensures that the technician gets the most recent and compatible drivers directly from the manufacturer. Allowing the OS to install drivers automatically may not provide the latest version, and third-party drivers could pose security risks or compatibility issues. Running the autoinstall CD may result in outdated drivers being installed.
