A technician has connected a new internal hard drive to a Windows 10 PC. What must be done in order for Windows 10 to use the new hard drive?

• Initialize the new hard drive.
• Extend the partition on an existing hard drive to the new hard drive.
• Run chkdsk on the new hard drive.
• Mount the new hard drive.
  

  Explanation: The new hard drive needs to be initialized before it can be used in Windows. This will involve formatting the disk which will erase any existing data on the drive.
