Hint

Windows Home, Windows XP, and Windows Vista are not supported in the upgrade path to Windows 10. The 64-bit version of Windows 10 Enterprise cannot be downgraded to Windows 10.

Hint

The Windows Disk Cleanup tool searches for files that might not be used or needed, such as .tmp files, that would free up drive space. Disabling unneeded processes closes applications and processes that are not currently being used, thus freeing up hard drive space and memory for faster performance.

Hint

A Microsoft account is required to sync data between devices, to access OneDrive, and to work with parental controls of the Child account. It allows access to Microsoft cloud services and syncs desktop settings and profiles across multiple devices. For this to occur, all devices must be signed in with the same Microsoft account.

Hint

All the PCs are from different vendors and thus have dissimilar hardware configurations. Furthermore, all the PCs have a variety of 32-bit Windows 10 and 64-bit Windows 10. Because the PCs have different versions of the OS and dissimilar hardware, you cannot use the same image on all the PCs . In order to use a single image, Sysprep must be used to strip out machine specific information like the SID, and all PCs must have the same hardware configuration and the same version of the Windows operating system.

Hint

The administrator account must be used to share a local printer on a network.

Hint

Password complexity rules would dictate that the password must not use the username within the password, and must have a combination of six upper/lower case alpha-numeric and non-alpha-numeric characters.

Hint

The technician must use Sysprep to clean up the local specific configuration, such as the SID, otherwise the cloned systems will not work properly.

Hint

The Users tab in the task manager can be used to see all the processes that are running under the current active user.

Hint

The taskkill command can be used to end processes and services. The switch /im refers to the ImageName to end a task by PID or image name respectively. The switch /f terminates the process without any user notification. This is useful because it will terminate the hung process even if it is displaying a dialogue box.

Hint

The Startup tab in the Task Manager can be used to examine which processes are loaded at startup and can be used to identify the application causing the startup delay.

Hint

System Restore is used to reset the system configuration to an earlier point in time and can be used to reverse changes made when installing an application or device driver.

Hint

An installed device can be disabled through Device Manager. To disable a device in Device Manager, expand the particular category, such as Monitors, right-click on the monitor, select the Disable Device option.

Hint

RADIUS and TACACS+ both use a separate server that performs authentication on behalf of network devices. However, RADIUS is an open standard and provides greater compatibility.
