FC0-U71 Exam Dumps - CompTIA Tech+ Questions and Answers

The requirement to change passwords every 60 days is a policy known as password expiration. It is part of enforcing secure authentication by limiting the amount of time a password is valid.

“Password expiration is a security measure that requires users to change their passwords after a specific period, such as every 60 or 90 days, to reduce the risk of compromised credentials being used over time.” — CompTIA ITF+ Official Guide

Password complexity refers to rules about what characters are required.

Password management refers to overall policies and tools for handling passwords.

Password privacy relates to confidentiality but not periodic resets.

Thus, the correct choice is C.

The CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide explains:

“Solid-state drives (SSDs) use flash memory, which is non-magnetic and non-volatile. They have no moving parts, unlike HDDs, which use magnetic platters.”

It further notes:

“Conventional hard drives have spinning platters and read/write heads, whereas SSDs use flash memory. SSDs are faster but generally more expensive than their HDD counterparts.”

Therefore, SSD (solid-state drive) meets all the listed requirements.

In the CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide (Exam FC0-U71, 3rd Edition, 2025), an array is described as:

“An array is a data structure that stores multiple values of the same data type under a single variable name. Each value in the array can be accessed using an index or key. Arrays are commonly used to organize related sets of data such as names, numbers, or records that share a common context.”

The guide illustrates how arrays can hold tabular data, similar to a spreadsheet or database table:

“Arrays let programmers store data in a table-like format, using rows and columns to represent related values, such as months and corresponding totals. This makes it easier to manage and manipulate structured data programmatically.”

In contrast:

A constant is a fixed value that cannot change during program execution.

A function performs an operation or returns a value based on parameters.

A variable holds a single value that can change.

Since the dataset represents multiple related values (Food and Drinks) across months in a table structure, it is an array.

Exam Objective 6.2 — Recognize basic programming structures such as arrays and variables.

The correct answer is D. NVMe. NVMe is a very fast SSD data-transfer standard and is much faster than traditional HDDs, optical drives, and ordinary external flash drives. The original spelling “NvME” should be corrected to “NVMe.” Flash drives are portable but typically slower than internal NVMe storage. Optical drives and HDDs are also slower.

Exact Extract/Reference: The CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide states that NVMe is “incredibly fast” and that Generation 4 NVMe drives can transfer more than 7000 MB/s, while SATA SSDs top out at about 600 MB/s. It also states that an NVMe M.2 drive greatly outperforms a SATA M.2 drive and that any SATA SSD is several times faster than a conventional HDD.

The correct answer is A. OEM. A vendor/manufacturer website is an original equipment manufacturer source when it is owned by the company that made or provides the software or driver. The question says the driver is found on the vendor’s website, not an app store, third-party site, or SaaS platform. SaaS means Software as a Service and refers to cloud-hosted applications, not a printer driver download source.

Exact Extract/Reference: The Tech+ Study Guide states that “An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) website is one owned by the developer of the software,” and that software from an OEM website is legitimate and trusted. It also gives a printer driver example where the HP support site is identified as an OEM website.

A variable is a named space in memory used to store data that can change during program execution.

“Variables are memory storage locations used to hold data that can change while a program runs.” — CompTIA ITF+ Programming Concepts

Correct answer: A

UESTION NO: 83 [IT Concepts and Terminology]

A systems administrator resolves a persistent issue with a laptop. Which of the following steps should the administrator take next?

A. Test the theory.

B. Document the findings.

C. Create an action plan.

D. Implement the action plan.

Answer: B

After resolving the issue, the final step in the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology is to document the findings. This includes noting what was done, what caused the issue, and how it was resolved, so others can reference it in the future.

“After resolving and verifying the issue, document the findings, actions taken, and outcomes to complete the troubleshooting process.” — CompTIA ITF+ Troubleshooting Steps

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is B. 101101. Hexadecimal is base-16. The hexadecimal value 2D equals 2 × 16 plus D. Since hexadecimal letters A through F represent decimal values 10 through 15, D represents 13. Therefore, 2D equals 32 + 13 = 45 in decimal. In binary, 45 is 101101 because it equals 32 + 8 + 4 + 1.

Exact Extract/Reference: The CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide explains that hexadecimal is “base-16” and that letters A through F represent decimal numbers 10 through 15. It also provides the binary place values used for conversion: 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1.

Verified and corrected questions 166–171:

The correct answer is A. A flash drive is a small, portable local storage device, so it is useful when a user needs to copy or back up a local file and carry it to another location, such as home. Option B describes cloud storage. Option C describes network file sharing. Option D describes long-term archiving, which is not the best use case for a flash drive because flash drives are small, easy to misplace, and not ideal as long-term archive media.

Exact Extract/Reference: The CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide defines an external flash drive as “a small, portable SSD that connects through a USB port” and says its “primary benefit is portability.” The guide also lists flash drives as a locally attached backup storage option.

Presentation software (e.g., Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides) is specifically designed to display information to an audience in a visual and organized format, making it ideal for meetings.

“Presentation software is used to create slide-based content that can be projected or shared in meetings to communicate ideas visually and effectively.” — CompTIA ITF+ Study Guide

Correct answer: D

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) refers to any data that can be used to identify an individual uniquely. Full name and date of birth are classic examples of PII.

“PII includes data such as names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, and other information that can directly or indirectly identify a person.” — CompTIA ITF+ Security Essentials

Correct answers: A and B
