Read the first 6 File System and Storage flashcards as text

  1. Which file system is required to use features like file-level encryption (EFS) and disk quotas on Windows 10?

    Answer: NTFS

    NTFS (New Technology File System) supports advanced features including EFS encryption, disk quotas, compression, and granular permissions.

  2. A user wants to move a 10 GB file to a USB drive formatted as FAT32. What will happen?

    Answer: The operation will fail because FAT32 has a 4 GB per-file size limit

    FAT32 has a maximum single file size of 4 GB minus 1 byte, so a 10 GB file cannot be stored on it.

  3. Which Windows 10 tool provides a graphical view of disk partitions and allows you to shrink, extend, or format volumes?

    Answer: Disk Management

    Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) provides a GUI for partitioning disks, creating volumes, and assigning drive letters.

  4. What type of partition style supports drives larger than 2 TB and is required for UEFI boot disks?

    Answer: GPT (GUID Partition Table)

    GPT supports drives larger than 2 TB, allows up to 128 partitions, and is required for UEFI-based boot configurations.

  5. Which command-line utility can be used to check and repair file system errors on a Windows volume?

    Answer: chkdsk

    The 'chkdsk' command scans a volume for file system errors and bad sectors, and can repair them with the /f switch.

  6. A technician wants to encrypt an individual file using the built-in Windows encryption feature without a full-disk solution. Which feature should they use?

    Answer: Encrypting File System (EFS)

    EFS (Encrypting File System) allows encryption of individual files and folders on NTFS volumes using the user's credentials.
