Final Exam Practical Hands on Reflection Questions

 1. Process Understanding

The first thing I did was insert the USB drive into the computer. Then I opened the Command Prompt and ran it as Administrator. I confirmed it was running as administrator because it showed System32 at the top. After that, I typed the commands such as diskpart, list disk, select disk 1, clean, create partition primary, active, format fs=ntfs quick, assign, and exit to prepare the USB drive. These commands helped format the USB so it could be used to install an operating system.

Next, I mounted the Windows 10 ISO file and copied all the files from it to the USB drive. After the copying process finished, I safely ejected the USB and inserted it again to check if it worked. The icon changed to the Windows installation icon, which meant the USB was already bootable.

2. Problem-Solving

During the installation of Windows 10, the computer suddenly turned off and showed a message asking me to press F1 to continue. At first, I was unsure what to do, but after pressing F1, the installation continued normally. Thankfully, there were no other problems. I was also able to complete the task smoothly This experience taught me to stay calm and carefully follow instructions.

3. Application & Improvement

The skills I learned from creating a bootable USB and installing Windows 10 are useful for fixing or setting up computers. In the future, I will review the steps carefully before starting and manage my time better, especially when copying files. This activity helped me become more patient and careful when working with computers.
