LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 5: Installing and Configuring Computer Systems


Name of Student: ___________________________________________________________________
Learning Area & Grade Level: CSS Grade 9
Learning Competencies: Installing and Configuring Computer Systems

I. Introductory concepts:
COMPUTER SYSTEM, DEVICES AND PERIPHERALS
As an aspiring computer technician, it is very important to know the system that runs your computer and different devices
attached to it. Each device plays an important role, without each other computer system will not work properly.
II. Learning Skills: Recognize the basic computer operating systems.
What is an Operating System? An operating system or OS is software installed on a computer's hard drive that enables the
computer hardware to communicate and operate with the computer software. It is the most important program that runs on a
computer. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs.
OS performs basic tasks such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files
and directories on the disk, controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers, manages all of the
computer hardware inside your computer and all of the connected peripherals, manages all of the software and communication
between software programs installed on the computer, and handles all of the data generated by the software.

Without a computer operating system, a computer and software programs would be useless.
For large systems, the operating system has even greater responsibilities and powers. It is like a traffic cop, it makes sure that
different program and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for
security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system.
Operating systems can be classified as follows:
Multi-user: Allows two or more users to run programs at the same time. Some operating systems permit hundreds or even
thousands of concurrent users.
Multiprocessing : Supports running a program on more than one CPU.
Multitasking : Allows more than one program to run concurrently.
Multithreading : Allows different parts of a single program to run concurrently.
Real time: Responds to input instantly. General-purpose operating systems, such as DOS and UNIX, are not real-time.

Operating systems provide a software platform on which other application programs can run. The application programs must be
written to run on top of a particular operating system. Your choice of operating system, therefore, determines to a great extent the
applications you can run. For PCs, the most popular operating systems are DOS, OS/2, and Windows, but others are available, such
as Linux.

Where is the operating system stored on a computer?


With most computers, the operating system is stored on the primary hard drive inside the computer. Computers operating systems
can also be installed and loaded from an external hard drive, disc drive, or flash drive.

When installing the operating system, the install files are stored on a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive. Early computer operating systems
used multiple floppy diskettes to install an operating system.

Below is a list of examples of different computer operating systems over the evolution of computers.

Microsoft Windows is the most common and used operating system on computers today, with Microsoft Windows 10 being the
most recently released Windows version. The operating system is used PC and IBM-compatible computers.
With Apple computers, macOS is the primary operating system used with Apple desktop and laptop computers. Linux is a free
and open source operating system used with PC and IBM compatible computers. Because the operating system is open source, it is
used to create many variants of Linux, including Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, and Slackware. Chrome OS is an operating system used
with Google Chromebooks.

III. Learning Activity 1. Reflect and Understand!


“True or False”
Direction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise.

_________ 1. OS is the most important software that runs on a computer.


_________ 2. With or without an Operating System, a computer can still work properly.
_________ 3. OS is a type of computer hardware.
_________ 4. The OS manages all of the software and communication between software programs installed on the computer.
_________ 5. Windows 7 is an example of an Operating System.

Learning Activity 2. Complete Me!


Direction: Give the functions of an Operating System.

Operating

Performance Task. Create your own…


Direction: Browse the net and collage a picture of the different Operating Software. For those students who have CP, you can collage the different OS using your
phones and submit via messenger and for those students who do not have cp or computer, you can do this activity on a short bond paper.

IV. REFLECTIONS:

Check me: I still do not understand the lesson. I’m confused with some topic like I understand the lesson well.
