Learning Task 1:

As a person who studies and practices technology, you must be able to know the variations or
options in installing an operating system that is compatible with the hardware requirement of a
personal computer.
Checking a computer’s technical specs might be necessary when it comes to installing new
software, programs, or games. It might be pretty much useless to play a game or run a program if
your computer is not capable of supporting its requirements. It is always an advantage to know the
full information about your hardware.
