What is the first question a computer technician should ask a user that is having issues with a software application after receiving a help desk request by phone or email?
- A.
Have you rebooted?
- B.
May I please have your name and phone number?
- C.
Is this computer a Dell?
Correct Answer
B. May I please have your name and pHone number?Explanation
The first question a computer technician should ask a user that is having issues with a software application after receiving a help desk request by phone or email is "May I please have your name and phone number?" This is because it is important for the technician to have the user's contact information in order to provide assistance and follow up if needed. Rebooting the computer and asking about the computer's brand are troubleshooting steps that may come later in the conversation, but gathering the user's information is the first priority.Rate this question:

- A.
One thousand bytes
- B.
1 billion bytes
- C.
The amount of RAM in every computer
- D.
1024KB
Correct Answer
D. 1024KBExplanation
One MB is equal to 1024KB. In computer systems, memory is often measured in bytes, with kilobytes (KB) and megabytes (MB) being common units. The prefix "kilo" represents 1000, so 1 kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. However, in binary systems, memory is often measured in powers of 2, so 1 kilobyte is considered to be 1024 bytes. Therefore, 1 megabyte is equal to 1024 kilobytes, or 1024KB.Rate this question:
