Cyber Fundamentals Block 2 Practice Exam

Which OS installation method makes an exact copy of Windows and all files & applications onto another disk drive?

Disk Clone Clean Install Fresh Install System Image Restore

Correct Answer:

Clean Install

Explanation:

Disk cloning creates a byte-for-byte replica of an entire drive, including Windows, all files, programs, and settings. The target disk becomes bootable and is an exact mirror of the source, which is exactly what you want when migrating to a new disk or replacing a failed one. A clean or fresh install puts Windows on the target from scratch, with no existing programs or data carried over. A system image restore uses a previously saved backup image to reconstruct the system, which can recreate the OS and apps but isn’t the same as cloning a live drive to a new disk. So the method that yields an exact copy onto another disk is disk cloning.
