CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 85

A user wants to use a USB to move a 4.57GB .pst file from one Windows computer to another. Which of the following filesystems should the USB be formatted with?

Answer options

• A. ext4
• B. NTFS
• C. FAT32
• D. APFS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is NTFS because it supports files larger than 4GB, making it suitable for transferring a 4.57GB .pst file. FAT32, on the other hand, has a maximum file size limit of 4GB, which would prevent the transfer of this file. The other filesystems, ext4 and APFS, are not natively supported by Windows.
