SYSTEMS
1.WINDOWS
2.MAC OS
LINUX
The OS acts as a
interface between the
users and computer
hardware
 WHAT IS OPERATING
SYSTEM?
An operating system ( 0S ) is a
collection of software that manages
computer hardware resources
Without a computer operating
system , a computer would be
useless.
 OPERATIONS OF OS
Start and shut down a computer
Coordinate Tasks
Establish An Internet Connection
Provide a user Interface
Configure Devices
Control a network
Manage Programs

GUI ( Graphics User

Multi-user
Multi Tasking

Multi Processing
GUI - Short for Graphical
User Interface,
a GUI Operating System
contains graphics and icons
and is commonly navigated
by using a computer mouse.

-A multi-user operating
system allows for
multiple users to use the
same computer at the
same time and/or
different times example
(LINUX)
 Multi Tasking
An operating system that is capable of
allowing multiple software processes
to run at the same time.
Below are some examples of
multitasking operating systems.•
Unix• Windows XP• Windows Vista
 Multi Processing
An operating system capable of
supporting and utilizing more
than one computer processor.
More than one CPUs that can
be shared
Below are some examples
of multiprocessing
operating systems.
For Example• Linux•
Unix• Windows 2000
 Multi Threading
Smaller parts of a program are loaded when
needed by OS
Operating systems that allow different parts
of a software program to run concurrently
Operating systems that would fall into this
category are:
For example• Linux• Unix• Windows 2000
 MAC OS
Series of graphical user interface
– based operating systems
developed by APPLE INC. for
their macintosh line of computer
system.
MAC OS was designed only to
RUN apple computers.
 FEATURES OF MAC OS
1. SECURITY - MAC OS
should be vigilant about strange
files and never allow application
they aren’t certain of admin
access , but they don’t need
special anti virus software.
 REALIBILITY
Because MAC OS designed from
scratch from ground up ,
incredibly stable . Apple controls
production rom start to finish , so
every part of the MAC is designed
and tested to work together.
 3. EASE OF USE
APPLe’ s known for the hiring the
best industrial and interface designers
around .
Advanced users have easy command
– line acces with the Terminal app.
4.iNtegration with apple and
other products.
MAC OS will automatically
recognize and work with any
other apple product such as
iphone , cinema display .

 LINUX
Was originally built
by Linus Torvalds at
the University of
Helsinki.
 FEATURES OF LINUX
OS
1.OPEN SOURCE OPERATING
SYSTEM
2.FREE SOFTWARE
3.IT RUNS ON A WIDE RABGE
OF HARDWARE FROM
PCs to MAC
1.OPEN SOURCE
OPERATING SYSTEM
LINUX is an open
source operating system..
Any programmer can
modify it due to its need.
2.FREE SOFTWARE
LINUX is a free software
any one can download it
from web and install it on its
PC
3.IT RUNS ON A
WIDE RANGE OF
HARDWARE FROM
PCs to MAC

isstarting up
a computer or computer
appliance until it can be
used
 STEPS ON To create
a bootable USB flash drive
1.Insert a USB flash drive into a
running computer.
2.Open a Command Prompt
window RUN as an administrator.
3.Type diskpart .
4.In the new command line window
that opens, to determine the USB
flash drive number or drive letter,
at the command prompt, type
list disk , and then click ENTER.
 INSTALLATION
Installation (or setup) of
a computer
program (including device
drivers and plugins), is the act of
making the program ready
for execution.
Because the process varies for each
program and each computer, programs
(including operating systems) often
come with an installer, a specialized
program responsible for doing
whatever is needed for their
installation
BOOTABLE USB FLASH
DRIVE
USB boot is the process of using
a USB storage device to boot or start a
computer's operating system. It enables
computer hardware to use a USB storage
stick to get all essential
system booting information and files rather
than the standard/native hard disk or the
CD drive.
Rufus is a free and open-
source portable
application for Microsoft
Windows that can be used to
format and create bootable USB
flash drives or Live USBs. 
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Application software is a
type of computer program that
performs a specific personal,
educational, and business
function.
 EXAMPLES OF
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
MS Word, WordPad and Notepad
Internet browsers like Firefox,
Safari, and Chrome

 SYSTEM SOFTWARE
System software refers to the files and
programs that make up your
computer's operating system.
System files include libraries of functions,
system services, drivers for printers and
other hardware, system preferences, and
other configuration files.
