INSTALLING OPERATING SYSTEM

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

Operating System is a system software commonly simplified as “OS”
An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer. It manages
the computer’s memory, processes, and all its software and hardware. It also allows you to
communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the computer’s “language”.
Without an operating system, a computer is useless

The operating System’s Job

Computer’s operating system (OS) manages all of the software and hardware on the
computer. Most of the time, there are several different computer programs running at the
same time, and they all need to access your computers central processing unit (CPU),
memory and storage. The operating system coordinates all of this to make sure each
program gats what it needs.

How OS Works
The figure shows below describe the sequential arrangement

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 system.
The three most common operating systems for personal computers are Microsoft
Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and Linus.

Modern operating systems use a Graphical User Interface, or GUI (pronounced

“gooey”). A GUI lets you use your mouse to click on icons, buttons, and menus, and
everything is clearly displayed on the screen using a combination of graphics and text.
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.

Before GUIs, computers had a command-line interface, which meant the user had
to type every single command to the computer, and the computer would only display text.

Microsoft Windows
Microsoft created the Windows operating system in the mid-1980s. over the years,
there have been many different versions of Windows, but the most recent ones are Windows
10 (released in 2015), Windows 8 (2012), Windows 7 (2009), and Windows Vista (2007).

Mac OS is a line of operating systems created by Apple. It comes preloaded on all

new Macintosh computers, or Macs. All of the recent versions are known as OS X

Yosemite (2014), Mavericks (2013), Mountain Lion (2012) and Lion (2011).

Brief history of macOS

Linux
It is a family of open-source operating systems, which means that they can be
modified and distributed by anyone around the world. This is very different from
proprietary software like Windows, which can only be modified by the company that owns
it (Microsoft). The advantages of Linux are that it is free, and there are many different
distributions (or versions) that you can choose from. Each distribution has a different look
and feel, and the most popular ones include Ubuntu, Mint and Fedora.
Linux is named after Linus Torvalds, who created the Linux kernel in 1991. The
kernel is the computer code that is central part of an operating system. 7
OPERATING SYSTEMS FOR MOBILE DEVICES
Windows 10 Mobile is a mobile operating system developed by Microsoft. It is an
iteration of the Windows Phone product line and a successor to Windows Phone 8.1, but is
marketed as being an edition of Windows 10, Microsoft’s operating system for personal
computers, as part of Microsoft’s plans to unify Windows’ application platform across
multiple device classes.
It is designed for use on smartphones and tablets, running on ARM as well as IA-
