CompTIA A+ (220-902) — Question 9

A technician is attempting to manually migrate a users profile from one Windows PC to another. Files in the users My Documents folder cannot be copied. Some files in question have green letters in the filenames. Which of the following file systems is causing this to occur?

Answer options

• A. exFAT
• B. COMPRESSED
• C. EFS
• D. NTFS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The files showing green letters indicate that they are encrypted using the Encrypting File System (EFS), which prevents unauthorized access during transfer. exFAT and NTFS are file systems that do not inherently encrypt files, while COMPRESSED refers to a different type of file storage that does not explain the green lettering.
