0. Hardware and Operating system
Series is about…
In this Series I Learn about Hardware and Operating System.
My initial goal was about Operating System(OS). Since OS is the most initial software that is executed when the computer is booted, OS is right between Hardware and Software. So We need some knowledge about Hardware and how it communicates with a software

My series is Based on these three lecture and books. If there is any problem reading my article I recommend you to search on these.
Hardware
Hardware is the physical component that make up the computer and enable it to perform it’s essential functions such as input, output, processing, and storage.
Hardware is therefore tangible, Essential for function. We can categorize Hardware by it’s location. Internal Hardware Component include CPU, Motherboard, RAM, etc which is a Hardware inside the computer and it is usually essential for the core operation of a machine. External Hardware component also called as Peripherals is devices connected by the computer to provide input and output functionally.
Operating System
Operating System is a Software that acts as a interface between the user, application software and the computer’s hardware. So OS is called a System software and it is a crucial one. OS is the software that is loaded first when a computer is booted. OS manages the computers resources and allow applications to run efficiently.
OS’s key function is Process, Memory, Device, File Management, User interface and Sercurity. Management is about the Hardware devices we talked above. OS is a UI because it provides a way user interacts with a hardware and by protecting system resources and user data from unauthorized access, it shows it’s security.
