How an Operating System manages Hardware in a computer                    What is an operating system?  an operating system is a system that allows the computer system to work. The operating system controls two main things: Managing the  software  and the  hardware So how does an operating system manage the hardware in the computer? The operating systems controls things, such as the processor, disk space, etc. Somethings that the operating system does is: Control the operation of the input and output Backing up storage devices Checking the loading and storage of apps Handle the errors that happen in apps Controls the security of the entire computer system The operating system controls what goes through in and out of the computer and the operating system also is in charge of backing up the storage and information on the computer. These are just a couple examples on how the operating system works.

Hardware Hardware is basically the physical parts or components in the computer. There are many different categories of Hardware, but for this post I will focus on the two basic ones: Input and Output According to the Cambridge dictionary, Input is the part that carries information to the machine (in this case, its the computer) the information is carried through an input device. Some examples of an input devices are: keyboard, mouse, webcam and a scanner. Output is the part that carries information out of the machine, its carried through an output devices. Some examples of an output devices are: printers, projectors, speakers and headphones.
