CompTIA A+ (220-901) — Question 38

A technician needs to run a diagnostic DVD on a laptop running Windows 8.1. After setting the boot order in the UEFI BIOS to the internal DVD-RW drive, the laptop still boots into Windows. Which of the following settings needs to be adjusted in order for the laptop to boot from the DVD-RW drive?

Answer options

• A. TPM
• B. Virtualization
• C. Secure boot
• D. UEFI BIOS password

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Secure Boot can prevent the system from booting from unrecognized media like a diagnostic DVD. The other options, such as TPM and Virtualization, do not influence the boot order or the ability to boot from a DVD, while a UEFI BIOS password is unrelated to boot device prioritization.
