System Configuration utility (MSConfig)

It enables a user to enable or disable startup services, set boot options, such as booting into Safe Mode, access tools like Action Center and Event Viewer, and more. A user will use this utility mainly to troubleshoot startup problems with Windows.

Microsoft account

It was previously called Windows Live ID, a Microsoft account is a unique account that is the combination of an email address and a password that a user uses to sign in to services like Outlook.com, MSN.com, Hotmail.com, OneDrive, Windows Phone, or Xbox Live.

file system

compression

The process of decreasing the size of files or folders without affecting the files' contents.

services

They run in the background on a Windows system to help the operating system run other programs. The Services console is the central management point of services in Windows 10.

mirrored volumes

They store an exact copy of data from the first member of the mirrored volume to the second member and require only two disks.

desktop apps

Traditional apps, such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat.

encryption key

When a user marks a file for encryption, Windows generates a large, random number—a unique encryption key. The key is used to scramble the contents of the file. This encryption key is also encrypted with a personal file encryption certificate, which is stored in the Windows Certificate database. The file's encryption key is stored along with the file.
