During the initial operating system setup wizard for a new workstation, configuring the date and time settings is a fundamental step to ensure proper system function and accurate logging.

AAdditional software

Installing additional software typically occurs after the core operating system setup is complete, not within the initial wizard.

BDate and time settingsCorrect

Date and time settings are fundamental for a new workstation during the initial OS setup wizard, as they ensure accurate system logs, proper functioning of time-sensitive applications, and correct file timestamps.

CPeripheral devices

Configuring most peripheral devices (like printers, scanners, or specialized input devices) is usually done after the initial OS setup, often requiring driver installations.

DSecurity software

While crucial, installing security software like antivirus is usually performed after the initial OS setup wizard to ensure the base system is correctly installed first.
