An operating system (also called an OS) is software that manages hardware and software resources of your computer and provides services for different programs on your computer. All computer programs require an operating system to work properly. The dominant desktop operating system is Microsoft Windows but there are many different types including: Linux, Mac, Android among others. We know that technology and computer use can be challenging to understand and implement into your daily usage.
