An operating system manages the computer's software and hardware, enabling communication between the user and computer. While a computer can start up without an operating system, it would be difficult to use programs without the operating system translating commands and managing resources. It is possible to install an Android operating system on an iPhone by overcoming hardware differences, but iOS cannot run on Android due to its closed-source nature and hardware specificity. Without an operating system, a computer would not be able to run other programs or perform typical operating system functions like memory management on its own.

1. Can a computer run without an operating system?
A computer would be difficult to use without an operating system. Because the
operating system manages the software and hardware, it won't operate effectively. It also serves as a translator between you and the computer since it only understands binary, which consists of 1s and 0s. The operating system enables you to communicate with your computer so that it can understand what you want it to execute. Your computer will start up without an operating system, but you might not be able to use other programs.
2. Is it possible to run different operating system that is intended for a
specific device, e.g., running an Android OS on an iPhone? Yes, I believe that it is possible to run an Android OS on an iPhone, but not iOS to Android, because smartphone operating systems are closely connected to smartphone hardware. Although I haven't tried it myself, I've seen a lot of people who have, and it seems to work. I'm not really sure how well it works, but they did manage to make it work on the iPhone. On the other hand, as iOS is closed source, not open to the public, and specifically built for a certain set of hardware, you cannot run iOS on an Android device. There are several variations of Android, including various OS versions, hardware, and drivers that make it hard to do this.
3. What would happen if a computer does not have an operating system
installed? If a computer does not have an operating system installed, more likely, you will not be able to run other programs on your computer. The computer would have to perform all the tasks the OS performs for it if an OS weren't installed. We are all aware that the Operating System is in charge of managing programs and applications. Without an OS, it would have to boot by itself, manage memory, and other things. To put it another way, it would have to implement a specific set of OS features by itself.
