COMPUTER SOFTWARE
A computer is an electronic machine. It cannot work by itself. A computer needs instructions
to do anything. These step-wise instructions are called software.
Software works like a manager between computer hardware and humans. So, we can say that
the part of a computer that we cannot see and touch is known as software.
For example, you play a movie on the computer from a pen drive. You can touch the pen drive
but you cannot touch the movie. This movie is the software and the pen drive is the hardware
which stores the movie and keeps it safe.
There are two types of software: System software and Application software.

System Software
Software that controls and manages all the activities of a computer system is called system
software. The system software is like a manager who manages a computer system.
When we switch on a computer, the first thing that system software does is to prepare the
computer for you to work on it. It loads important files so that you can work and run the
application software. This software is called the operating system.
There are many versions like Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Windows 11 is the latest version.
