CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 428

A technician is doing a bare-metal installation of the Windows 10 operating system. Which of the following prerequisites must be in place before the technician can start the installation process?

Answer options

• A. Internet connection
• B. Product key
• C. Sufficient storage space
• D. UEFI firmware
• E. Legacy BIOS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as having sufficient storage space is essential for installing the Windows 10 operating system. While a product key (B) is important for activation, it is not a prerequisite for starting the installation. An internet connection (A) can be helpful for updates, but it is not necessary for the installation to begin. UEFI firmware (D) and Legacy BIOS (E) are related to boot options but do not directly impact whether the installation can commence.
