These systems manage both the hardware and software of a computer. Users control their computer’s operations easly with windowing systems. These allow even beginners to perform complicared operations. Most modern computers come from with preinstalled device drivers. These control the unit’s operating systems. Other components ensure that peripherals work with the operating system. Sophisticated BIOS in the firmware perfoms this situation.
