                        A computer is a device that  processes information using two  main parts:  hardware
                       (physical parts) and software (programs).
                        Computers do four  main things: take  in information  (input),  process it, show results
                       (output), and store data.
                        IPO stands for Input-Process-Output, where input is given, processed by the CPU, and
                       shown as output.
                        Hardware includes input devices (keyboard, mouse), output devices (monitor, printer),
                       and storage devices (hard drives, SSDs).
                        Data storage is measured in units like bytes, kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes
                       (GB), and terabytes (TB).
                        Software is a set of instructions that enables a computer to perform tasks, with apps on
                       mobile devices being examples.
                        Application  software  are  designed  for  user-specific  tasks,  such  as  word  processors,
                       spreadsheets, and web browsers.
                        Disk Management is a Windows tool for managing storage devices, including partitioning
                       drives.
                        Disk  Cleanup  frees  up  space  by  removing  unnecessary  files,  improving  system
                       performance.
                        Disk Defragmentation  reorganises  fragmented  data  on the  hard  drive  to enhance
                       efficiency.
                        File Explorer is a tool to access and manage files and folders on Windows, enabling
                       actions like moving and renaming files.
                        Recycle  Bin  temporarily  stores  deleted  files,  allowing  for  restoration  or  permanent
                       deletion.
