CompTIA A+ 220-1101 (V14) Practice Question

A technician is creating a Windows 11 virtual machine on a laptop and assigns the guest only 1 GB of RAM and a single vCPU, even though the OS manufacturer recommends 4 GB of RAM and two cores. Which of the following outcomes is the MOST likely when the user begins running typical office applications in the VM?

  • The hypervisor will automatically expand the VM's CPU and memory, so performance will remain normal.

  • The VM will run faster because smaller resource allocations improve cache efficiency.

  • Applications inside the VM will respond slowly, and the guest may experience frequent swapping or high CPU wait times.

  • The host will overheat and draw more power because the VM's light footprint drives the CPU to maximum use.
