What is the Operating System Figure 1.1- Personal Computer Architecture The Windows operating system as a layer of services that communicates with the hardware and the applications (apps) like an interpreter. It allows the same applications to run on a wide range of equipment made by many companies. It listens to the mouse and keyboard and controls the monitor. It also manages the file system (to be presented in Weeks 2 through 4) and it displays the desktop graphical interface (start button, task bars, wallpaper, and icons). The operating system’s function is like Android in the cell phone world where many phone manufacturers (Samsung, HP, LG, etc.) can run a wide range of Apps. The apps are displayed on the screen controlled by Android running on many phone manufacturers. 2. The Mouse and Keyboard The mouse and keyboard are the primary ways to communicate to your Personal Computer. The keyboard communicates with the operating system using keys and key combinations.

Version: 1/1/17 1.5 Peoples Resource Center Windows 10 Fundamentals Student Guide Module 1 Windows 10 Most of the keys on the keyboard do a single task like enter an ‘A’ into the computer but in some cases the combination of keys is needed. To create a “combination key” you need to press both keys at the same time. For example, to copy highlighted text shown on the screen, you need to press the “Ctrl and C” keys together. That creates a new key combination to the computer. It is written as (Ctrl-C).
