Which of the following best describes the typical first step when installing new software on a computer?
Think about what the installer program does first when you start installing software.
The first step in installing software is usually running the installer program. This program copies the necessary files to your computer and sets up the software so it can run properly.
After uninstalling a program, which of the following is the most likely state of the computer?
Think about what uninstallers usually remove and what they might leave behind.
Uninstalling software typically removes the main program files, but some settings or user data might remain on the computer unless specifically removed.
Which type of software installation allows the program to run without being fully installed on the computer?
Consider which installation type does not require copying all files to the computer.
Portable installations allow software to run directly from a USB drive or folder without full installation on the computer.
Which uninstall method is most thorough in removing all traces of a program?
Think about which method cleans leftover files and registry entries.
Third-party uninstaller tools scan for leftover files and settings, making them more thorough than built-in uninstallers or manual deletion.
What will most likely happen if you try to install a large software program but your computer does not have enough free disk space?
Consider what happens when there is not enough room to copy all files.
Installers check for enough disk space before copying files. If space is insufficient, they usually stop and show an error.
