Episode 104: Partitioning, Formatting, Feature Updates

from Certified - The CompTIA A+ Audio Course Hosted by Dr. Jason Edwards

This episode focuses on disk setup and system maintenance—key areas tested on the A Plus exam and vital for support professionals. We begin with partitioning: the process of dividing a physical disk into logical sections. You’ll learn the difference between MBR and GPT partitioning, and how to configure primary, extended, and logical partitions using Disk Management or command-line tools. Formatting is next—converting partitions into usable file systems like NTFS or exFAT and preparing them for data storage. We finish with Windows feature updates, which are larger than security patches and often include major system changes. We explain how to check update history, defer updates, and resolve common update errors. Mastering these steps ensures successful disk configuration and ongoing system stability.
