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, macOS 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.
