CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 238

An IT technician is working on a help desk ticket concerning a user's inability to create a virtual machine. The technician has already checked the RAM and HDD space in the user's machine. Which of the following settings should the technician check next to help troubleshoot the issue?

Answer options

• A. BitLocker
• B. MSConfig
• C. BIOS
• D. Secure Boot

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, BIOS, because virtual machines often require specific BIOS settings to be enabled, such as virtualization support (VT-x or AMD-V). Options A (BitLocker), B (MSConfig), and D (Secure Boot) are not directly related to the creation of virtual machines and would not typically prevent a user from doing so.
