Which deployment model/method is the below statement referring to?
In this scenario the administrator installs Windows on a single PC using DVD or USB media. This is the most time- and labor-intensive deployment method. Since it must be accomplished on-premises for each individual PC, _____ _______ is impractical if the network contains more than a few computers.
Clean install
Which deployment model/method is the below statement referring to?
In this method the administrator uses ____ ______ software to make an exact copy of one hard disk drive onto another hard disk drive. The cloned HDD can then be installed into another computer. ____ _____ has the advantage of copying not only the OS, but also configuration
settings, desktop layout, all saved files, and all applications installed on the parent disk. This is useful for deploying a standard configuration across several identical PC workstations. It is also a good option for an individual who wishes to upgrade to a new HDD without losing any files, applications, or configuration settings.
Disk Clone
Which deployment model/method is the below statement referring to?
Modern motherboards support booting over a local area network (LAN) using a BIOS service called Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE, AKA: “pixie”). Windows then loads from a remote server. It is not locally installed on the user’s PC. This allows the administrator full control over user settings, security updates, patches, user applications, etc.
Network boot
Microsoft ______ is a cloud-based computing service which provides many software services over a network connection. Access to preconfigured Windows machines over a network connection is
one of the available services.

Digital Entitlement
Which deployment model is the most labor-intensive method of installation?
Clean Install
What is the first step in the installation process?
First, back up any important files on the target hard drive to a network drive or an external hard drive.
What is the second step in the installation process?
Next, restart the PC and enter the CMOS settings menu using the manufacturer-specified process. On an HP machine for example, tap the ESC key repeatedly while the computer is starting up.
What is the third step in the installation process?
Enter the CMOS password if required and change the boot priority to the optical drive for DVD media or to a USB drive for flash media. Mount your installation media, save your CMOS changes, exit BIOS, and allow the PC boot process to continue.
What is the fourth step in the installation process?
When the PC restarts the Windows Setup screen will be displayed. Specify your language and keyboard layout (the default is US English) and click NEXT.
What is the fifth step in the installation process?
If the target hard drive is brand new, use the Windows disk formatting tool to format the hard drive to the GPT or MBR standard. You can also specify the size of the Windows partition here if you wish.
