When upgrading a laptop's storage from an HDD to an SSD, especially in laptops with only a single bay for a hard drive, the most critical characteristic to consider is the form factor. The form factor must match the physical dimensions and interface of the original HDD to ensure that the SSD can fit into the bay and connect properly. Storage size (B) is important for capacity reasons, transfer speed (D) affects performance, and partition type (A) is a software configuration aspect, but the form factor (C) is crucial for the physical compatibility of the SSD with the laptop.

If an application was previously running in a virtualized environment and is not launching after being installed directly on the base operating system, it's possible that the technician did not account for dependencies or configurations specific to the virtualized environment that are not present or are incompatible with the base operating system. This mismatch can prevent the application from launching properly.

USB devices rely on 5V output from the power supply, so the amperage rating at 5V is critical to ensure enough power is available for multiple USB devices. A modular connector count affects cable management, while a 20+4 power connector is standard for motherboard connections. Energy efficiency impacts overall power usage but is not specific to the needs of USB devices. This matches CompTIA A+ Core 1 objectives regarding power supply selection based on device requirements.

For network printing, the required ports are typically those used by printing protocols. Port 515 is used by the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol, and port 631 is used by the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). These ports need to be opened in the firewall to allow print jobs to be sent to and from network printers.
