  1. Rudy, I agree. It should be boot order; however, that is not an option. (secure boot is not the same as boot order.)
    It is D. because it shows a fail attempt to connect to PXE.

  2. How is this correct? It says ” a notebook that is not loading the local Windows 10 operating system.” as in, it’s not and it should be…

    So If it’s failing to connect to a PXE Server (basically using the NIC to load the image from a TFTP server), they’ve messed something up in the boot order that’s causing it to boot that way instead of to a local drive? no?
