    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.
