You are a Desktop Technician in a company's IT Department. You need to find the hardware specifications of a desktop; however, the device does not have an operating system installed. Which of the following options will display this information?
POST
TPM
MBR
BIOS
The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) or UEFI firmware contains a setup utility that displays hardware information such as the CPU, RAM, and detected storage devices. This is accessible before an operating system loads. The Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a diagnostic process that runs at startup to check hardware, but it is not the user interface for viewing detailed specifications. The Master Boot Record (MBR) is a special sector on a storage drive that helps initiate the OS boot process, and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a hardware chip used for security and encryption.
