You are planning to install Windows 10 on a computer in a dual-boot configuration. The computer already has Windows 8 installed. You open Disk Management and discover there is one hard drive with an EFI System Partition, a primary partition with plenty of free space, and no unallocated space. In Disk Management, how can you prepare the drive to hold the Windows 10 installation?

• Shrink the EFI System Partition and create a new partition for Windows 10.

  
  

• Shrink the primary partition and create a new basic disk for Windows 10.

  
  

• There's nothing more to do in Disk Management. Close the windows and begin the installation.

  
  

• Shrink the primary partition and create a simple volume for Windows 10.

  
  

Your friend is setting up a computer and plans to use Windows RAID striping. They ask you how many hard drives they should install in the system. What do you tell them?

• Install at least three drives: one to hold the Windows installation and two for the array.

  
  

• Install at least two drives. The striped array can install on two drives, and it can also hold the Windows installation.

  
  

• Only one drive is necessary. They can create extra partitions on the drive; the first can hold Windows and the other two can hold the array.

  
  

• Suggest to your friend that they use hardware RAID, which is more stable.
