220-1101 Question #440: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which of the following solutions can help users who have the current Windows operating systems run legacy applications that are not supported under the latest applications?

Options

• AAppLocker
• BType 1 hypervisors
• CSandbox
• DApplication virtualization

Explanation

Application virtualization is a technology that allows legacy applications to run in isolated environments on modern operating systems without being fully installed, providing compatibility for unsupported software.

Common mistakes.

• A. AppLocker is a security feature that restricts which applications users can run, not a solution for running incompatible legacy applications.
• B. Type 1 hypervisors are for running multiple operating systems directly on hardware; while they could host an older OS, application virtualization is a more direct and efficient solution for running just the application on a modern desktop OS.
• C. A sandbox provides an isolated environment for running applications for security purposes, preventing them from affecting the host system, but its primary purpose is security, not necessarily direct compatibility for legacy applications.

Concept tested. Legacy application compatibility - virtualization
