CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 338

A technician is installing software on a user’s workstation. The installation fails due to incompliance with the HCL. Which of the following components is most likely causing the installation to fail? (Choose two.)

Answer options

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The installation is failing due to incompatibility with the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), which often requires specific CPU and RAM configurations. A non-compliant CPU (B) or insufficient RAM (E) can lead to software installation issues, while the other options like NIC, PSU, KVM, and DVI are less likely to directly impact the HCL compliance for software installation.
