The operating system, or OS for short, is the most important program on a PC. Without it, we wouldn't even be able to turn it on. With the help of the OS, we control the computer, that is, we do everything we do behind it — work, relax, use the Internet.

When we turn on the PC, we see a picture and all sorts of icons, buttons, windows and so on. All this beauty that you see and use is possible only thanks to the operating system. If it wasn't there, then when it was turned on, there would only be a black screen with English letters and numbers.

Windows is one of the varieties of the OS. Her brand, so to speak. Like, for example, a car brand — Audi, Volkswagen, BMW.

The OS has its own "brands": Linux, macOS and others. Of these, Windows is the most popular in the world. It is installed on most computers.

There are several versions of Windows:

Outdated and uncommon: 95, 98, 2000, Me, XP, Vista and others;
Popular: 7, 8, 10, 11.
They differ from each other by the release date. Now the newest version is the eleventh. But many still work on the seventh, tenth, and even outdated XP. These editions use fewer resources and are suitable for older and low-power computers.
