A technician is installing an operating system on a new computer. Which of the following is the first step of the process?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Detailed

The first step in installing an operating system on a new computer is Setting the boot order (Option A). This ensures that the computer can boot from the installation media (USB, DVD, etc.). Once the boot order is configured, the system can start from the installation source, and the rest of the OS installation process can proceed.

Formatting the hard drive (Option B) comes later in the process, after the installation media is booted.

Entering the product key (Option C) and Selecting the filesystem (Option D) are subsequent steps during the installation process.

CompTIA A+ Core 2 Reference:

1.9 - Perform OS installations and upgrades, including setting boot methods and boot order.

Entering the product key? More like entering the Konami code to unlock the secret level, am I right?

Setting the boot order? Well, duh, that's how the computer knows where to look for the OS! Gotta get that right.

Setting the boot order is crucial for the computer to know where to find the OS.

I think formatting the hard drive should be the first step to prepare it for the operating system.

Selecting the filesystem? Isn't that more like the last step? I mean, you gotta get the OS on there first.

Formatting the hard drive? Duh, that's the first step! How else are you going to install the OS?

Setting the boot order is actually the first step, not formatting the hard drive.
