In other words‚ the OS is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) from which the PC’s operator controls any piece of hardware or software. Before installing an OS‚ a user must understand the purpose that it serves – why it is important to have an OS. Once understanding what purpose the OS serves to the user‚ he/ she will understand how this can help to operate and

How does computer software and hardware work together? This is kind of a complex question. I think the most important thing connecting software and hardware would probably be the register. Commands or services requested by the software are encoded into binary values of 0’s and 1’s and are written into a register. For example‚ some register may hold a value of "01101100". This encoding has a total of 8 bits. Each value of either 0 or 1 is called a bit‚ and 8 bits are called a byte. At the hardware
