• An Internet connection and a Microsoft account

• UEFI firmware with Secure Boot

• A discrete graphics card

Which statement best compares 64-bit and 32-bit Windows installations?

• 32-bit installations generally perform better and support more RAM.

• 64-bit installations generally perform better and can run 64-bit applications, which typically run faster.

• Both versions require the same device drivers.

• 64-bit Windows can use 32-bit device drivers without issues.

When deploying 64-bit Windows, which driver requirement must be met?

• Install only 32-bit device drivers

• Install 64-bit device drivers

• Drivers are optional for 64-bit Windows

• Use legacy unsigned drivers only

Before purchasing Windows 10, what should you verify first according to best practice?

• That legacy BIOS is enabled

• That all applications will work with Windows 10

• That the system supports RAID 5

• That the CPU supports overclocking

What is the minimum hardware requirement for RAM when installing Windows 10, depending on OS architecture?

• 2 GB for a 32-bit OS or 4 GB for a 64-bit OS

• 512 MB for either 32-bit or 64-bit OS

• 1 GB for a 32-bit OS or 2 GB for a 64-bit OS

• 4 GB for a 32-bit OS or 8 GB for a 64-bit OS

Which minimum storage requirement applies to Windows 10 installation?

• 8 GB for a 32-bit OS or 12 GB for a 64-bit OS

• 16 GB for a 32-bit OS or 20 GB for a 64-bit OS

• 32 GB for both 32-bit and 64-bit OS

• No specific storage requirement

A computer meets CPU, RAM, and storage requirements for Windows 10 but has only a DirectX 8 graphics card. What should the technician do to meet minimum requirements?

• Proceed; graphics version is irrelevant

• Upgrade to a DirectX 9 or later card with a WDDM 1.0 driver

• Disable graphics acceleration

• Install 32-bit Windows instead of 64-bit
