What is an operating system ?

Ans: An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages

computer hardware resources and provides common services for compute

programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system

software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an

operating system to function.

Q. What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of operating

system?

Ans: The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor

(also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows

handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively

than a 32-bit system. 32 bit system has a limit of 4GB RAM to process data

where as the 64 bit operating system has 2^64 bits of space to address and

supports 16 hexabytes of RAM to process data.

What is File System ?

In computing, a file system (or file system) is used to control how

information is stored and retrieved. Without a file system, information

placed in a storage area would be one large body of information with no way

to tell where one piece of information stops and the next begins.
