What is an Operating System? An operating system is the most important software that runs on the computer. It manages the computer’s memory, processes, and all of its software and hardware. It also allows you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the computer’s language. Without an opearting system, a computer is useless. Types of Operating System The three most common operating systems for personal computers are Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and Linux.
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, operating systems are designed to be easy to use, and most of the basic principles are the same.

Microsoft Windows
Windows is a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft. Each version of Windows includes a graphical user interface, with a desktop that allows users to view files and folders in windows. There have been many different versions of Windows such as Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, and the latest is Windows 10.
MAC OS This is the operating system that runs on Macintosh computers. It is pronounced, "mack-oh-es." The Mac OS has been around since the first Macintosh was introduced in 1984. Since then, it has been continually updated and many new features have been added to it. Each major OS release is signified by a new number (i.e. Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9).
LINUX Linux is the best-known and most-used open source operating system. As an operating system, Linux is software that sits underneath all of the other software on a computer, receiving requests from those programs and relaying these requests to the computer’s hardware. Like other operating systems, Linux has a graphical interface, and types of software you are accustomed to using on other operating systems

INFORMATION SHEET No. 1.3-1c ESTABLIHED INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet you should be able to; 1. Determine the Installing Procedures After you have learned the minimum system requirements needed in installing operating system from Information Sheet 1.3-1b, this information sheet will cover the presentation of installation and configuration of Operating System. As a matter of fact, it has come to the realization of many that an operating system is a very important aspect when it comes to the running and functioning of any computer devices. This is due to the fact that; it is the operating system which controls every activity occurring in a computer. For an OS to run on a device, it must installed and configured to run in the device. Windows installation is quite an easy activity which takes a maximum of one hour. Configuration on the other hand means making all the necessary system settings so that the installed operating system can function properly with all hardware and other software components.
Installing Procedure Terminologies Bootable Flash Drive - that contains its own operating system ready to load. USB Port - s a standard cable connection interface for personal computers and consumer electronics devices. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. BIOS - a set of computer instructions in firmware that control input and output operations. Boot - to boot a computer is to turn it on. Once the computer's power is turned on, the "boot process" takes place. Installation – It is the process of making hardware and/or software ready for use. Format - To format a drive means to prepare the chosen partition on the drive to be used by an operating system by deleting all of the data1 and setting up a file system.

Custom Installation – It is defined by Microsoft as installing the OS on the same partition as a previous installation of Windows. Note that this is not the same as an upgrade. Hard Drive - It is a non-volatile computer storage device containing magnetic disks or platters rotating at high speeds. It is a secondary storage device used to store data permanently, random access memory (RAM) being the primary memory device. Partition - It is a section of a hard disk. When you format a hard disk, you can usually choose the number of partitions you want. The computer will recognize each partition as a separate disk, and each will show up under "My Computer" (Windows).
Operating System Installation using Portable Device Clean Installation A clean install is intended for users who want to freshly install Windows on their computer (by deleting all of the data on the hard disk and then installing Windows) or computers that do not have an operating system yet.

Internal Device - describes a hardware device that is installed inside of the computer. Examples:
CPU Drive (e.g., Blu-ray, CD-ROM, DVD, floppy drive, hard drive, and SSD) Fan (heat sink) Modem Motherboard Network card RAM Sound card Video card
How Do I Connect Peripheral Devices to my Computer? Installation is a pathway to transmit data between device and computer. Wired connection mat require only connecting wire to computer and may require adding expansion card to system unit. Most computers include a variety built-in ports for connecting devices. Today, USB (Universal Serial Bus) is the preferred way to connect devices. Wireless connection typically requires transceiver on both devices. Bluetooth Wifi If peripheral device requires a port not on your computer, you install an expansion card. Some device require software, called device driver, to set-up communication.

INFORMATION SHEET No. 1.3-2b Install Device Drivers Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet you should be able to; 4. Define Device Drivers. 5. Determine the procedure in installing the Device Drivers. After you performing all the task from Information Sheet 1.3-1c, Installing Operating System, this information sheet will cover the presentation of installing device drivers in computer.
What is device drivers? A device driver is a particular form of software application that is designed to enable interaction with hardware devices. Without the required device driver, the corresponding hardware device fails to work. A device driver usually communicates with the hardware by means of the communications subsystem or computer bus to which the hardware is connected. Device drivers are operating system-specific and hardwaredependent. A device driver acts as a translator between the hardware device and the programs or operating systems that use it. A device driver may also be called a software driver.
How to Install Device Drivers? Download the Driver Manually To download new drivers, go to PC manufacturer’s website or device manufacturer’s website. Driver updates are often available in the Support section of their website. If you are using a branded computer, it is recommended that you go to the PC manufacturer’s website to check for the latest driver first, as they may customize the driver. You are required to use the PC model and the operating system that you are using to download the Computer Systems Servicing NCII Install and Configure Computer Systems

correct driver. Usually, the PC model can be found on the machine. See How to Get Operating System. If you need to download the driver from device manufacturer, then you are required to know the device model. How to install the downloaded driver?
The downloaded driver file will be an executable file (File name ends in “.exe”.) or a zip file (File name ends in “.zip”.). For executable file, to install the driver, you just need to double-click on the file and follow the on-screen instructions. For zip file, you need to unzip it and find the executable file in the archive. If you cannot find an executable file, you need to install the driver step by step using the “.inf” file. Following steps are for your reference how to install the driver in this way. 1. Go to Device Manager. (Press window key + X) 2. Find the device that need to install a driver. (Here let’s take video card for example.) 3. Right-click on the device and select Update Driver Software…

INFORMATION SHEET No. 1.3-3 Install Operating System and Drivers Updates Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet you should be able to; 1. Learn the importance of updating operating system and drivers. 2. Determine the procedure in updating operating and drivers. After you performing all the task from Information Sheet 1.3-2, Identifying Peripherals and Installing Device Drivers, this information sheet will cover the presentation of updating OS and Drivers.
Updating Operating System When new versions of operating systems are launched, such as Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X they are generally accompanied by improved usability, additional features and an enhanced user experience. Other types of updates correct errors or enhance functionality within the operating system, and are not necessarily security related. They also detect which of their manufacturers’ other programs you are running on your device and provide updates to these as well. Why should you install operating system (OS) updates? Updates are "patches" that fix problems in your operating system Unpatched computers are especially vulnerable to viruses and hackers. To ensure that your computer and applications are updated: Install all critical and security-related updates when your computer tells you they are available. If you've never been prompted to do this, your computer may not be configured to notify you when updates are available. Some general guidelines:
Windows users: Set your computer to download operating system updates on a regular basis. Look in your Control Panel and find System or Automatic Updates. You can also find Windows updates in the Tools

menu in Internet Explorer, or by visiting Microsoft's Web site at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
Mac users: Consult the "software update" pane in System Preferences to enable updates. Set it to check for updates as frequently as possible.
Restarting your computer: Some updates require you to restart your computer for them to go into effect, and you may not be notified when this is the case. Whether your computer is being patched for you* or you do it yourself, shutting down or restarting your computer regularly -- at least weekly -- helps to make sure software and security updates are properly installed and are protecting your computer and information.
Updating Drivers Occasionally, the manufacturers will write addition or changes to a driver to improve a component’s performance. The process of updating driver is similar to installing them, although you might need to remove the old driver first. Be sure to look for any readme files that come with the software. The readme files will inform you of the correct procedure for installation. Some drivers, especially those that have been downloaded from the internet are in the form of executable files. For these, double click on the filename, and the executable file will perform the installation. Here's how to update drivers: 1. Press window key + x, click Device Manager 2. Expand one of the categories to find the name of your device, then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select Update Driver. 3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions. Note: If these steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver: Open Device Manager, right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device, and select Uninstall. Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
