According to (Merriam-Webster 2014) “an operating system is the main program in a computer that controls the way the computer works and makes it possible for other programs to function.” The operating system is kind of like the brain of the computer, it makes all the other programs on the computer operate and ties them all together, sort of like the brain does for all the other body parts. The computer would just be a heavy useless machine if it did not have an operating system to act as the force that puts that machine to work.

... The operating system is responsible for booting the computer and manages the file system. It is possible for an operating system to support more than one user task or even CPU (central Processing Unit). All computers must have an operating system it is the program that controls almost all of the functions on your computer. Any decisions that are made during the process of installation will have significant ramifications on how people will use that computer throughout its operational lifetime. Choosing an Operating System There are three main operating systems in use today these are: 1. Microsoft Windows: The current version is Windows 8.1 although this is not the most popular distribution offered by Microsoft, the most widely use is Windows 7 which according to http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/O/operating_system 48.77% of computers are using windows 7 This statistic is verified by http://thenextweb.com/microsoft in 2014 2. Mac OS: Made by the Apple corporation and is very much a proprietary operating system that is made available when apple products are purchased, such as the MacBook Pro laptop. 3. Linux: This is an open source operating system that comes in many different distributions, this is due to the fact that its source code is available for free.

...Objectives - MS Project 2010 * Change the working and non-working time on Standard Calendar * Change the working and non-working time on a Resource Calendar * Create new base calendars * Assign different base calendars to resources With calendars, you can determine when resources on a project are working and when they are not working. If you do not indicate when resources are available, you may accidentally schedule tasks when resources are not actually available. Calendars are part of determining availability of resources. In MS Project, calendars define the working and non-working time for the project and for each resource assigned to the task. As a change is made to a calendar, MS Project automatically reschedules all tasks affected by the change. Using Calendars There are two types of calendars in Project: base calendars and resource calendars. Base calendars define the working days and working hours for a project or a set of resources. Resource calendars define the working days and working hours for a specific resource. The default base calendar (also known as the project calendar) is called Standard. This standard calendar is usually set as an 8-hour day, 40-hour week, Monday through Friday, with no holidays. However, you can modify this standard calendar, but it is not recommended. MS Project also comes with two other base calendars: a 24-hour calendar and a night shift calendar. You can also create your own base calendars...

Over the years, Microsoft has consistently updated the Windows operating system with new versions. Compare and contrast the features of Windows 7 and Windows Vista. 3. The Windows operating system has specific requirements that must be met in order to install it on a PC or mobile device. Which three most important hardware devices must be considered before you install Windows 8, 7, Vista, or XP on a computer? Explain why these three devices are important in general. 4. Mobile computing is the way of the future and so are mobile operating systems. Describe the features and benefits of the two major mobile operating systems, Android and Apple iOS. 1. The first phase would be to power up the computer by pressing the power button, doing so the power button creates an electrical impulse that instructs the motherboard to power on the power supply to begin the computers boot up sequence. The second phase after your initial startup power sequence is the BIOS activates and runs the power-on self-test (POST) that checks the hardware of the computer such as the CPU, RAM, video interface, hard drives, USB interfaces, and other integrated ports and interfaces, making sure everything is working properly, after that the BIOS displays an option for you to press if you choose to enter into the BIOS settings.

...computer, would need to be fixed, such as auditing and sharing. For a local home computer which is mainly used for school work by 2 adults and 3 children, this level of security is acceptable. I believe that this security assessment is an accurate reflection of the use of this computer, and I am comfortable with the assessment results. One of the hidden features of Windows 7 is the “Administrator” account (I will call it admin from now on). In previous versions of Windows, the admin account was always enabled. Basically this account allows you to control your working environment, create new users, setup network shares and handles a ton of other software management. Starting with Windows 7, Microsoft decided to hide this account for some reason, but there are many times that you need to be able to log on as the admin. One other note, if you don’t have the admin account enabled and your log on is disabled or destroyed, more than likely you will not be able to enable the admin account since you can no longer boot into Windows. Just last night I ran into a corrupted profile issue with my log on for Windows 7 and if I had not had the admin account “enabled” I would have been forced to reload my entire system (Caldwell, 2013). Having had this experience happen in our house once or twice, we appreciate having two administrator accounts. Anytime that a...

...Computer Structure and Logic Lab 1 12/17/2015 The computer I am working on right now has Windows 7 Installed on it. Windows 7 is not perfect. Some features are underdeveloped. For example when typing the cursor will move through the document. And some annoyances remain intact. But overall, the final version appears to be a worthy replacement to Windows XP. In window 7 you can take the Screen and split it into two. This is a great feature when you are writing a paper and doing research at the same time. To do this just click on the middle of the tab bar and drag left or right, then take your other screen and go the opposite way. In windows 7 you can now pin Icons to the task bar. For example you can pin chrome to your task bar, to do so open chrome, it will appear in the task bar when it does right click on it. Click on pin to task bar, now you have easy access to chrome. Windows 7 started the “Peak”. You can take your mouse and hover your mouse over an icon on the task bar that is active, when you do this a small screen pops up and you can see what is in that tab. Desktop Gadgets can be added to windows 7. You can add the Weather or even a picture slideshow to the desktop, just right click on your desktop and click on gadgets. Double click on the gadget you want and it will appear on your desktop. The desktop I am using has an Intel Core Processor the CPU is running at 3.30 GHz. It has 8 GB of RAM wish it had at least 16.
