Bootable flash drive is an external hard drive created with an Operating System that can be used to boot a desktop
computer or laptop replacing a Windows DVD installer. It is more popular now a days because is it quicker and more compact
compared to optical data carrier (CD or DVD).
Windows ISO image is essential in creating a Bootable flash drive. An ISO file that contains all setup needed for installation.
PowerISO and UltraISO are example tools we may use to create an ISO File.
The capacity of the USB drive is also important. A USB drive with at least 4GB of storage for a 32-bit OS or at least 8GB for a 64-bit
OS.
There are two methods to create a Bootable flash drive. It can be done manually or with the use of automated tools
such as WinToFlash and Rufus.
Op
erating System (OS) is a layer of software which is used to
manage computer resources. It also provides an interface, so
that users can utilize computer resources. It configures and
manages hardware to connect the components and the
applications.
2. Device Management - An OS with help of their respective drivers manages device communication.
o It Keep a track of all devices. This task is performed by I/O controller.
o It decides which process will get the device when and for how long.
o It allocates and de-allocates the device efficiently
3. Processor Management
In a multi-programming environment, it is OS who decides which process will get the processor when and for how
long. This task is called Process Scheduling. Following activities are done by Operating System for processor
management:
o It keeps a track of processor tasking and checks the status of process. Traffic
controller performs this task.
o It allocates the processor and also de-allocates processor when a process is complete and not required.
4. Security - An OS by using password and other similar techniques prevents and checks unauthorized users
to access the data and program
5. Error Detection - By using various error detecting aids an operating system helps in prevention of errors.
6. Coordination among Software and Users - It Coordinates and assigns compilers, assemblers, interpreters and
other software to users. Controls System Performance. An OS records delays between a request and response of
the system.
7. Job accounting - It keeps a track of resources and jobs used by different users all the time.
8. File Management
In a file system, generally directories are organized for usage and easy navigation. Following activities are
performed by an OS under file management:
o It keeps a track of location, information, status etc. This collective is known
as File System.
o It decides who will get the resources.
o It allocates and de-allocates the resources.
Windows is the dominant over the other two. 90% of computer users use Windows operating system.
Windows and MAC are expensive operating systems however, MAC OS requires the users to buy the MAC
systems (Macbook, Mac) built by Apple.
On the other hand, Linux is a free operating system.
Windows and MAC have similar file structures while Linux has a different code base (single file tree compared to
Windows and MAC's many directories)
Windows interface has a Start menu, Taskbar, System Tray, and the Windows Explore while Linux has easy to
switch interfaces.
Linux is most preferred by programmers, MAC is preferred by graphic artists, and Windows is preferred by gamers
iPhone OS / iOS (Apple) - Apple's iPhone OS was originally developed for use on its iPhone devices. Now, the
mobile operating system is referred to as iOS and is supported on a number of Apple devices including the iPhone,
iPad, iPad 2 and iPod Touch. The iOS mobile operating system is available only on Apple's own manufactured devices
as the company does not license the OS for third-party hardware. Apple iOS is derived from Apple's Mac OS X
operating system.

Device Driver
More commonly known as a driver, a device driver or hardware driver is a group of files that enable one or
more hardware devices to communicate with the computer's operating system. Without drivers, the computer
would not be able to send and receive data correctly to hardware devices, such as a printer.

Software updates
Software updates are a way for software developers to fine-tune a product to make it the best it can be. They offer
small, frequent improvements rather than major changes. Unlike a software upgrade, updates need the existing software
program you’re using to work.
Updates sometimes run automatically in the background. Other times, software updates (commonly referred to as
‘patches’) come in the form of a free download. They’re usually necessary for your product to continue running
successfully.
That’s because software updates address any new-found security issues, fix recently discovered bugs, and add support
for drivers and new hardware. They tweak and improve the way the program operates, but they don’t fundamentally
alter it.
Simply put, software updates modify, fix and alter your current software program on a regular basis. They’re the
software equivalent of keeping your bicycle oiled. It’s still the same bike, it just runs smoother.
