Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1101 exam
Question #: 836
Topic #: 1
A user is testing a new operating system that is contained on a USB drive. The user wants the new OS to load automatically when the computer is powered on. Which of the following should the user configure?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

To make sure that the new operating system on the USB drive loads automatically, the user must configure the boot options in the BIOS/UEFI. Boot options determine the sequence of devices the computer will attempt to boot from when powered on. Setting the USB drive as the first boot option ensures that the system will load from the USB before trying other devices.
* D. Boot options: The user should configure the boot sequence to prioritize the USB drive, so the system boots from it automatically.
Why the other options are incorrect:
* A. BIOS password: A BIOS password is used to restrict access to the BIOS settings, not to control boot order.
* B. Trusted Platform Module (TPM): TPM is a security feature used for cryptographic operations and securing hardware, not for controlling boot options.
* C. USB permissions: This refers to access permissions for USB devices but does not affect booting from a USB drive.
This concept is part of the Hardware domain in the CompTIA A+ Core 1 exam, specifically regarding BIOS configuration.
