LEARNING CONTENT
Operating System Features
An operating system is the most important software that runs on a
computer. It manages the computer memory, processes, and all of its
software and hardware. It also allows you to communicate with the computer
LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
An operating system (OS) is the software component of a computer system
that is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the
sharing of the resources of the computer. The OS acts as a host for application
programs that are run on the machine. Almost all computers use an OS of some
type.

6. without knowing how to speak the computers language. Without an
operating system, a computer is useless.
You can make full use of your computer if you know the operating system’s features
and functions.
Types of Interface
Users interact with the computer through the user interface. There are two types of
interface:
1. The command line interface was
used by early computers. It is where you
must type the exact command you want to
execute. It is not considered very user
friendly since you must memorize the
commands then type them without any
Figure 67. The command-line interface
spelling errors. Example: MS DOS
showing an example of the directory
command
2. The Graphical User interface (GUI) was a big breakthrough in the computer
world. This made command execution convenient. When users turn on the
computer, the operating system, displays a symbolic desktop that is up of various
objects called icons. Therefore, people execute commands by pointing on and
clicking the icons.
Each operating system's GUI has a different look and feel, so if you switch to
a different operating system it may seem unfamiliar at first. However, modern
operating systems are designed to be easy to use, and most of the basic principles
are the same.
The Operating System's Job
Once the operating system has started up, it manages all of the software and
hardware on the computer. Most of the time, there are many different programs
running at the same time, and they all need to access your computer's Central
Processing Unit (CPU), memory, and storage. The operating system coordinates all
of this to make sure that each program gets what it needs. Without the operating
system, the software wouldn't even be able to talk to the hardware, and the computer
would be useless.

7. Types of Operating Systems
Operating systems usually come preloaded on any computer that you buy.
Most people use the operating system that comes with their computer, but it is
possible to upgrade or even change operating systems.
The three most common operating systems for personal computers are Microsoft
Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and Linux.

Presents an unbiased review of each operating systems
The choice on what to use is still up to you. Programmers usually
prefer Linux while video/graphics producers will probably tend to prefer
Mac. A gamer might go for Windows. The best thing to do is to try each OS
and see which is best for you and your computer system specifications.

14. Windows Update
Software in your computer needs to be updated every now and then. When
you have a PC with an operating system and other programs installed and you
wish to install important updates as they become available, turn on automatic
updating. Important updates provide significant benefits, such as improved security
and reliability. It’s an easy way to help keep your PC safer and running smoothly.
You can also set Windows to automatically install recommended updates,
which can address noncritical problems and help enhance your computing
experience. Optional updates are not downloaded or installed automatically.
To perform this update, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button ,
clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Update.
Step 2. In the left pane, click Change settings.

updates when downloading, installing, or notifying me about updates
check box, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator
password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
If you are running Microsoft Windows 98 or a later version of Microsoft
Windows, you are eligible to update Microsoft Windows, and in some cases, the
latest drivers for your computer hardware through Microsoft's update site.

REMEMBER
An operating system is the most important software that runs on a
computer. It manages the computer's memory and processes, as well as all of
its software and hardware. It also allows you to communicate with the computer
without knowing how to speak the computer's language. By any standard of
measure, an operating system is the most critical software installed on a
computer. Not only does an operating system act as the administrator of many
computer processes, but it also allows users to harness the power of the various
sound, graphics and memory assets within the computer's hardware
infrastructure. For the vast majority of users today, a computer would be useless
if it did not include some form of an operating system.
