mall. What things do you need to consider before you buy a laptop? Will you
consider what operating system does the laptop have and what version is it in
in? Do
you know what particular operating system is currently trending on the market?
Can you site an example? What about if the laptop chosen by your friend has no
installed operating
erating system? Do you know how to install an OS to help your friend
friend?

Defining the System Software
System Software are programs that work behind the scene and without user
intervention in most situations perform other tasks such as loading and running a
program, protecting computer from viruses and hackers, performing regular
checks, controlling hardware devices connected to the computer such as the
printer, sharing of memory resources, and coordinating connected computers or
networks.

What are the types of System Software

An Operating System or OS is the most important software that runs on a
computer. It is a program that is responsible for the coordination, management,
and sharing of hardware resources and tasks in the computer.

The Utility Software is a program that performs maintenance tasks for the
computer’s resources, such as clean up and organizing files and programs so they
would load and work faster.

An Anti-Virus Software is a program designed to detect, identify, and remove

computer viruses and other malicious software (malware) from the computer.

A Device Driver is a program that allows a particular hardware device to work and
communicate with the computer system.

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)is a program or code that helps the
processor to interact and control the other components in the computer like
monitor, printer, scanner, card reader, speakers, joystick, microphone, camera,
disc drives, TV/video/sound card, network cards, USB ports, and hard drives. It
also does the boot process before the operating system do its work.

Other system software are HD Sector Boot, Linker, Assembler, and Compiler.

The procedures in installing Windows 7 operating system:

1. Turn your computer on then press Del or F2 (depending on your
computer’s main board) to enter the system BIOS.
2. Go to Boot menu and choose Boot from CD/DVD as your priority 1.
3. Save the configuration and exit BIOS then reset your computer.

4. Insert Windows 7 DVD into your DVD drive then start up your
computer, Windows 7 will be loading files.
5. Select your language, time & currency format, keyboard or input
method and click Next.

6. Click Install now.

now

7. Check I accept the license terms and click Next.

8. Click Upgrade if you already have a previous Windows version or
Custom (advanced) if you don’t have a previous Windows version
or want to install a fresh copy of Windows 7.

9. (Skip this
is step if you chose Upgrade and have only one
partition) Select the drive where you want to install Windows 7 and
click Next. If you want to make any partitions, click Drive options
(advanced), make the partitions and then click Next.
10. It will now start installing Windows 7. The first step, (e.i. Copying
Windows files) was already done when you booted the Windows 7
DVD so it will be completed instantly.

11. After completing the first step, it will expand (decompress) the files
that it has copied.

12. The third

rd and fourth step will also complete instantly like the first
step.
13. After that, it will automatically restart after 15 seconds and
continue the setup. You can also click Restart now to restart
without any delays.

14. After restarting for the first time, it will continue the setup. This is
the last step so it will take the most time that the previous steps.

15. It will now automatically restart again and continue the setup. You
can click Restart now to restart without any delays.
16. Type your desired username in the text-box
box and click Next. It will
automatically fill up the computer name.

17. If you want to set a password, type it in the textboxes and click
Next.

18. Type your product key in the textbox and click Next. You can also
skip this step and simply click next if you want to type the product
key later. Windows will run only for 30 days if you do that.
19. Select your desired option for Windows Updates.

20. Select your time, date, and click Next.

21. If you are connected to any network, it will ask you to set the
