    Explanation:
    Keyloggers secretly records keystrokes to steal credentials, PII, or other sensitive data and can be hardware or software based. Detecting them can be challenging; use reputable endpoint protection, monitor for suspicious processes, check startup entries, and employ two-factor authentication to mitigate credential theft.

    Explanation:
    In older Windows (7 and earlier), F8 at boot opened Advanced Boot Options including Safe Mode. Modern Windows boots faster and often requires different methods (Shift + Restart or recovery options) to access safe modes. For legacy systems, F8 remains useful if fast boot isn’t enabled.

    Explanation:
    Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) creates, formats, extends, shrinks, and deletes partitions. It can convert disks between MBR and GPT (with caveats) and create volumes. For advanced tasks (command line, scripting, or low-level recovery), use diskpart. Always back up data before partition changes.

    Static IPs are manually set and remain constant, often used for servers, printers, and port forwarding where a predictable address is needed. Using static IPs incorrectly (assigning within DHCP pool) can cause address conflicts, so document and plan addressing schemes.
