As you know, a computer requires an operating system to work. Without it, we cannot
                  start a computer and work on it. An operating system is a system software that controls

                  all the activities of a computer and provides an easy interface to the computer. In this
                  chapter, we will learn about The Windows 11 operating system. Some other operating
                  systems are Linux, Unix, Mac OS X and MS DOS.

                  STARTING WINDOWS


                  When we switch on the computer, the Windows operating system is loaded into the
                  computer’s memory. The process of loading
                  the operating system after the computer is
                  switched  on is  known as  booting. During
                  booting, the computer performs necessary
                  actions which makes it ready to use. After
                  booting, a screen appears which is known
                  as the  login  screen.  After some  time,
                  the screen appears,  which is called the

                  desktop. Let’s learn about the desktop and
                  its components.
