INSTALL OS AND DRIVERS UPDATES

Name: ___________________________________________ Section: ____________________

Install OS and drivers updates/ patches in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations

and requirements (TLE_IACSS9-12ICCS-IIa-j-30)

Subtasks:
• Discuss the drivers installation procedure;
• Carry out installation using portable bootable device; and
• Recognize the use of software user guide and the software license agreement.
Time Allotment: 3 hours

II. Key Concepts

Installation

It refers to the configuration of a software or hardware with a view to making it usable with
the computer. A soft or digital copy of the piece of software (program) is needed to install it. There
are different processes of installing a piece of software (program). 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 the installation.

Boot Disk

It is a removable digital data storage medium from which a computer can load and run
(boot) an operating system or utility program. The computer must have a built-in program which
will load and execute a program from a boot disk meeting certain standard.

Bootable USB Flash Drive - is an external hard drive that can be used to boot a Desktop computer
or a laptop.

OPERATING SYSTEM

An operating system is a software that provide interface between the user and the
hardware. The computer cannot perform any task without operating system. The operating
system control and manage the operation of computer hardware.

TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM

1. Microsoft Windows remains the most popular operating system for home and office
computers. Its latest versions, including Windows 10, are also used on some tablets, and
the OS is used on some web and number crunching server computers as well. Computers
from a wide variety of manufacturers can use Windows.
2. MacOS It is previously Mac OS X, then OS X is a series of graphical operating systems
developed and marketed by Apple Inc. since 2001. It is the primary operating system for
Apple's Mac family of computers.
3. The Unix computer operating system has been in use for more than three decades.
Originally it rose from the ashes of a failed attempt in the early 1960s to develop a reliable
timesharing operating system. A few survivors from Bell Labs did not give up and developed
a system that provides a work environment described as "of unusual simplicity, power, and
elegance."
4. iOS (formerly iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system created and developed by Apple Inc.
exclusively for its hardware. It is the operating system that powers many of the company's
mobile devices, including the iPhone and iPod Touch and it also powered the iPad until the
introduction of iPadOS in 2019. It is the world's second-most widely installed mobile
operating system, after Android.
5. Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and
other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablets. Android is developed by a consortium of developers known as the
Open Handset Alliance and commercially sponsored by Google.
