CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 381

A technician replaces a laptop hard drive with an M.2 SSD. When the technician reboots the laptop, the laptop does not detect the SSD. Which of the following should the technician configure for the system?

Answer options

• A. HSM
• B. Boot options
• C. UEFI settings
• D. TPM

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as UEFI settings often need to be modified to recognize new hardware like an M.2 SSD. Options A (HSM) and D (TPM) are related to security features and are not relevant to drive detection. Option B (Boot options) may be necessary after detection but does not address the underlying issue of the SSD not being recognized initially.
