In keeping with the All-In-One philosophy, the book serves both as an exam guide and as a practical reference for IT support and technical personnel.

The 220-1101 exam tests your knowledge of computer components, expecting you to be able to identify just about every common device on PCs, including variations within device types. Here’s a list:

• Hard drives
• Solid-state drives (SSDs)
• Removable storage (flash drives, memory cards, and optical drives)
• Motherboards
• Power supplies
• CPUs
• RAM
• Monitors
• Input devices, such as keyboards and touchscreens
• Video and multimedia cards
• Network and modem cards
• Cables and connectors
• Heat sinks, fans, and liquid cooling systems
• Laptops and mobile devices
• Printers and multifunction devices
• Network switches, cabling, and wireless adapters
• Biometric devices

The 220-1101 exam tests you on mobile devices (including laptops). While the smartphone and tablet market covers an impossibly wide array of hardware and software, the 220-1101 exam focuses on Apple iOS and Google Android devices. You’ll need to know how to interact with the hardware and software.

The 220-1101 exam tests extensively on networking. You need to know how to set up a typical local area network (LAN), for example, understanding cabling standards, network protocols, and Windows configuration.

The 220-1101 exam tests your ability to install, configure, and maintain all the hardware technology involved in a personal computer. You need to be able to install and setup a hard drive, for example, and configure devices in Windows.

The 220-1101 exam will quiz you on cloud computing and virtualization technologies. You’ll need to know about available cloud services such as online storage and applications only available via the Internet. You’ll get asked about the purpose of virtual machines in a network environment and their resource and security requirements.

The 220-1101 exam requires you to know a lot about hardware and network troubleshooting. You’ll get questions, for example, on how to fix a network failure.

The CompTIA A+ exams cover six different operating systems and many versions within each OS. When you review the exam objectives a little later in this section, though, you’ll see that the majority of content focuses on the Microsoft Windows operating systems you would expect to find on a PC at a workstation or in a home. The operating systems are primarily the focus of the CompTIA A+ 1102 exam and cover a specific and limited scope of questions on macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, iOS, and Android. Objectives in the exams cover the following operating systems:

• Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise
• Windows 11
• macOS
• Linux
• Chrome OS
• iOS
• Android
