The goal of this module is to enable learners to understand the components of
computer systems and develop the skills needed to recommend appropriate systems
for business purposes and set up and maintain computer systems.
WHAT IS A COMPUTER?
A computer is a machine that changes information from one form into another
by performing four basic actions. Those actions are input, processing, output, and
storage. Together, these actions make up the information processing cycle. By
3
following a set of instructions, called a program, the computer turns raw data into
organized information that people can use. Creation of usable information is the
primary benefit of computer technology. There are three kinds of computers:
Analog computers are almost extinct today. These are different from a digital
computer because an analog computer can perform several mathematical operations
simultaneously. It uses continuous variables for mathematical operations and
utilizes mechanical or electrical energy. Think of the scales on a mercury
thermometer or on the gas gauge of a car.
Digital computers work with data that has a fixed value. They use data in digital, or
number, form. The computers that run programs for playing games or searching the
internet are digital computers.
Hybrid Computers are a combination of both digital and analog computers. In this
type of computers, the digital segments perform process control by conversion of
analog signals to digital ones.
Most computers are not just digital but binary, too. That is, they only
recognize two possible values. Think of a television’s power switch. It, too, is binary:
The switch is either on or off. There are no other possibilities.
Computers break data into pieces called bits and give each bit a value of either 0
or 1. A byte is a group of bits—usually 8. Using 8 bits in different combinations,
each byte can represent a different value. For example, one byte might be
00000000, another might be 01010101, and another might be 00110011. There are
256 possible combinations!
CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPUTER
1. Mainframe Computers
Large organizations use mainframes for highly critical applications such as bulk data
processing and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Most of the mainframe
computers have the capacities to host multiple operating systems and operate as a
few virtual machines and can substitute for several small servers.
2. Minicomputers
In terms of size and processing capacity, minicomputers lie in between mainframes
and microcomputers. Minicomputers are also called mid-range systems or
workstations. The term began to be popularly used in the 1960s to refer to relatively
smaller third generation computers.
3. Servers
They are computers designed to provide services to client machines in a computer
network. They have larger storage capacities and powerful processors. Running on
them are programs that serve client requests and allocate resources like memory and
time to client machines. Usually they are very large in size, as they have large
processors and many hard drives. They are designed to be fail-safe and resistant to
crash.
4. Supercomputers
The highly calculation-intensive tasks can be effectively performed by means of
supercomputers. Quantum physics, mechanics, weather forecasting, molecular
theory are best studied by means of supercomputers. Their ability of parallel
4
processing and their well-designed memory hierarchy give the supercomputers, large
transaction processing powers.
5. Microcomputers
A computer with a microprocessor and its central processing unit it is known as a
microcomputer. They do not occupy space as much as mainframes do. When
supplemented with a keyboard and a mouse, microcomputers can be called personal
computers. A monitor, a keyboard and other similar input output devices, computer
memory in the form of RAM and a power supply unit come packaged in a
microcomputer. These computers can fit on desks or tables and prove to be the best
choice for single-user tasks.
COMPUTER HARDWARE
HARDWARE- physical, touchable, electronic and mechanical parts of a computer

system.
A. System Unit- The main part of a
microcomputer, sometimes called the chassis.
It includes the following parts:
Motherboard
Microprocessor
Memory Chips
Buses
Ports
Expansion Slots and Cards.
Motherboard / Mainboard / System Board - The

main circuit board of a computer. It contains all the
circuits and components that run the computer.
CPU (Central Processing Unit) - The processor

is the main “brain” or “heart” of a computer
system. It performs all the instructions and
calculations that are needed and manages the
flow of information through a computer.
Primary storage (internal storage, main memory, or memory) is the computer's

working storage space that holds data, instructions for processing and processed
data (information) waiting to be sent to secondary storage. Physically, primary
storage is a collection of RAM chips.
5
Two (2) Types of Memory
ROM – (Read Only Memory)
ROM is non-volatile, meaning it holds data even when the power is ON or OFF.
RAM – (Random Access Memory)
RAM is volatile, meaning it holds data only when the
power is on. When the power is off, RAM's contents
are lost.
Expansion Bus
A bus is a data pathway between several

hardware components inside or outside a
computer. It does not only connect the parts of
the CPU to each other, but also links the CPU with
other important hardware.
Adapters
Printed-circuit boards (also called interface cards)
that enable the computer to use a peripheral device
for which it does not have the necessary
connections or circuit boards. They are often used
to permit upgrading to a new different hardware.
Power Supply Unit (PSU)

Installed in the back corner of the PC case, next to
the motherboard. It converts 120vac (standard
house power) into DC voltages that are used by
other components in the PC.
6
Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Also known as hard drive, is a magnetic storage
device that is installed inside the computer. The
hard drive is used as permanent storage for data.
In a Windows computer, the hard drive is usually
configured as the C: drive and contains the
operating system and applications.
Optical Drive
An optical drive is a storage device that uses
lasers to read data on the optical media. There are
three types of optical d rives: Compact Disc (CD),
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc
(BD).
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)

Designed to optically access data stored on a DVD. A
laser moves back and forth near the disk surface and
accesses data at a very fast rate.
B. Input Devices - Accepts data and instructions from the user or from another
computer system.
Keyboard - The first input device

developed for the PC. Data is transferred
to the PC over a short cable with a
circular 6-pin Mini-din connector that
plugs into the back of the motherboard.
Pointing Devices
Mouse- The most common 'pointing device' used in PCs. Every
mouse has two buttons and most have one or two scroll
wheel s.
7
Touch screen - A display screen that is sensitive to the
touch of a finger or stylus. Used in myriad applications,
including ATM machines, retail point-of-sale terminals,
car navigation and industrial controls. The touch screen
became wildly popular for smart phones and tablets.
Light Pen - A light-sensitive stylus wired to a video

terminal used to draw pictures or select menu options.
The user brings the pen to the desired point on screen
and presses the pen button to make contact.
Digitizer Tablet -A graphics drawing tablet

used for sketching new images or tracing old
ones. Also called a "graphics tablet," the user
contacts the surface of the device with a
wired or wireless pen or puck. Often
mistakenly called a mouse, the puck is
officially the "tablet cursor."
Scanning Devices - A device that can read text or

illustrations printed on paper and translates the
information into a form the computer can use.
Voice- Input Devices - Audio input devices also known as speech or voice
recognition systems that allow a user to send audio signals to a computer for
processing, recording, or carrying out commands. Audio input devices such as
microphones allow users to speak to the computer in order to record a voice
message or navigate software.
C. Output Devices -Any piece of computer hardware that displays results after the
computer has processed the input data that has been entered.
8
Computer Display Monitor - It displays information in visual form, using text and
graphics. The portion of the monitor that displays the information is called the
screen or video display terminal.
Types of Monitor
1. CRT Monitor Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) were the only type of displays for
use with desktop PCs. They are relatively big (14" to 16" deep) and heavy
(over 15 lbs.).
2. LCD Monitor Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology has been used in
laptops for some time. It has recently been made commercially available as
monitors for desktop PCs.
3. LED Monitor (Light Emitting Diode) - A display and lighting technology
used in almost every electrical and electronic product on the market, from a
tiny on/off light to digital readouts, flashlights, traffic lights and perimeter
lighting.
LCD Projectors - utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal
solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the
crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is
like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light.
Smart Board - A type of display screen that has a touch sensitive transparent
panel covering the screen, which is like a touch screen.
Printer - A device that prints text or illustrations on paper.

Lesson
1 Assemble Computer Hardware
Have you ever wondered what happens when you turn on your computer? For many
users, just seeing that the computer starts and that they can begin working is enough
to meet their needs. But to become a more knowledgeable user, you should know
how your computer works. One of the main behind-the-scenes contributors is the
operating system. The operating system is like the control center of your computer:
it controls everything that happens with your computer. The operating system makes
sure that files are stored properly on storage devices, software programs run properly,
and instructions to peripherals are sent, among other jobs. Without an operating
system, your computer would not be able to perform even basic tasks.
WHAT IS OPERATING SYSTEM

• It is the most important program that runs on a computer.
• It performs basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard,
sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on
the disk.
• It makes sure that different program and users running at the same time do
not interfere with each other.
11
• is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not
access the system.
• manages all the related tasks needed to run the computer.
TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM
MICROSOFT WINDOWS, also called Windows and Windows OS, computer

operating system (OS) developed by Microsoft Corporation to run personal
computers (PCs). Featuring the first graphical user interface (GUI) for IBM-
compatible PCs, the Windows OS soon dominated the PC market.
Bayanihan
Operating System
LINUX is the best-known and most-used open source operating system. As an

operating system, Linux is software that sits underneath all the other software on a
computer, receiving requests from those programs and relaying these requests to the
computer’s hardware.
Linux also is different from other operating systems in many important ways.
First, and perhaps most importantly, Linux is open source software. The code used
to create Linux is free and available to the public to view, edit, and—for users with the
appropriate skills—to contribute to.
Who uses Linux?
Companies and individuals choose Linux for their servers because it's secure,
flexible, and you can receive excellent support from a large community of users, in
addition to companies like Canonical, SUSE, and Red Hat, each of which offer
commercial support.
12
Macintosh Operating System (Mac OS) is an operating system (OS) designed by
Apple Inc. to be installed and operated on the Apple Macintosh series of computers.
Introduced in 1984, it is a graphical user interface (GUI) based OS that has since
been released as multiple different versions.
WHAT IS A MOBILE OPERATING SYSTEM (MOBILE OS)?
A mobile operating system, also called a mobile OS, is an operating system that is
specifically designed to run on mobile devices such as mobile phones,
smartphones, PDAs, tablet computers and
other handheld devices. 6. Palm OS (Garnet OS)
1. Android OS (Google Inc.)

8. webOS (Palm/HP)
3. BlackBerry OS (Research In Motion)
9. Windows Mobile (Windows
4. iPhone OS / iOS (Apple)
Phone)
5. MeeGo OS (Nokia and Intel)
Operating systems can be classified as follows:

1. Multi-user – Allows two or more users to run programs at the same time.
Some operating systems permit hundreds or even thousands of concurrent
users. ex: Linux, Unix, Windows 2000.
2. Multiprocessing – Supports running a program on more than one CPU. ex:
Linux, Unix, Windows 2000.
3. Multitasking – Allows more than one program to run concurrently. ex: Unix,
Windows 2000, and Windows Multi Point
4. Multithreading – Allows different parts of a single program to run
concurrently. ex: Linux, Unix, Windows 2000, and Windows 7
5. Real time – Responds to input instantly. General-purpose operating systems,
such as DOS and UNIX, are not real-time.

Use of Tools in PC Hardware Servicing
To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that should

contain all of the necessary tools. As you gain experience, you will learn which tools
to have available for different types of jobs. Hardware tools are grouped into these
four categories:
· Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools - Static electricity is easily generated by
friction on carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric, and etc. The friction of
moving air alone will charge suspended particles and cause the buildup of static
electrical charges on people and objects in the environment.
15
Examples of ESD Tools:
Anti-static wrist strap – Used to prevent ESD damage to computer
equipment.
Anti-static mat – Used to stand on or place hardware on to prevent
static electricity from building up.
· Hand tools - A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a

physical system using only hands. Hand tools can be used manually or electrically
powered, using electrical current.
Examples of Hand Tools are as follows:
Flat Head Screwdriver – Used to loosen or tighten slotted screws.
Philips Head Screwdriver – Used to loosen or tighten cross-head
screws.
Torx Screwdriver - Used to loosen or tighten screws that have a
star-like depression on the top, a feature that is mainly found
on laptop.
Hex Driver – Sometimes called a nut driver, is used to tighten nuts in
the same way that a screwdriver tightens screws.
Needle-Nose Pliers – Used to hold small parts.
Wire Cutter – Used to strip and cut wires.
Tweezers – Used to manipulate small parts.
Part Retriever – Used to retrieve parts from location that is too
small for your hand to fit.
Flashlight – Used to light up areas that you cannot see well.
· Cleaning tools - Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when

maintaining or repairing computers. Using these tools ensures that computer
components are not damaged during cleaning. Examples:
Lint-free Cloth – Used to clean different computer components
without scratching or leaving debris.
Compressed Air – Used to blow away dust and debris from different
computer parts without touching the components.
Cable Ties – Used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of a
computer.
Parts Organizer – Used to hold screw, jumpers, fasteners and other
small parts and prevents them from getting mixed together.
· Diagnostic tools - Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each
new generation of hardware and operating system update, but that does not mean
they are problem-free. Here are the most popular tools for diagnosing your computer
problems:
Multimeter – Used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality
of electricity in computer components.
Loopback Adapter – Used to test the functionality of computer ports.
Computer System Design

Computers are made of electronic parts called components. Each component has a
specific function. They all work together when a computer is operated. Some of the
components can be seen partly from the outside. Some components are inside the
computer box where we cannot see them.
16
A computer system consists of both hardware and software components and
these two basic elements need to work in harmony. Operating systems software is
needed to run the computer.
Diagram of a Computer System
The data is entered through

input devices such as the
keyboard, mouse, etc. This
set of instruction is
processed by the CPU after
getting the input by the
user, and then the
computer system produces
the output. The computer
can show the output with
the help of output devices to
the user, such as monitor,
printer, etc.
The Components of the System Unit

The system unit contains the main components such as the:

video controller, a video card is an expansion card
that connects to a computer motherboard. It is used
to create a picture on a display
6. Sound Card - Alternatively referred to as an audio

output device, sound board, or audio card. A sound
card is an expansion card or IC for producing sound
on a computer that can be heard through speakers or
headphones. Although the computer does not need a
sound card, it is included on every machine as either
in an expansion slot (shown below) or built into the
motherboard (onboard).
7. Network Interface Card (NIC) - Short for network

interface card, the NIC is also referred to as an
Ethernet card and network adapter. A NIC is a
computer expansion card for connecting to a network
(e.g., home network or Internet) using an Ethernet
cable with an RJ-45 connector.
NORTH BRIDGE
Alternatively referred to as the PAC (PCI/AGP
Controller) and nb, the Northbridge is an integrated
circuit responsible for communications between the
CPU interface, AGP, and the memory.
It acts as a "bridge" for the southbridge chip to
communicate with the CPU, RAM, and graphics
controller.
19
SOUTH BRIDGE
The southbridge is an IC on the motherboard responsible
for the hard drive controller, I/O controller, and integrated
hardware. Integrated hardware can include the sound
card and video card if on the motherboard, USB, PCI, ISA,
IDE, BIOS, and Ethernet.
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)

Alternatively referred to as a RTC (real-time clock), NVRAM
(non-volatile RAM) or CMOS RAM, CMOS is short for
complementary metal-oxide semiconductor. CMOS is an
onboard, battery powered semiconductor chip inside
computers that stores information.
Bridges
Bridges manage how data and instructions are
transferred between the CPU, memory, and other
devices.

Lesson 1: Assemble Computer Hardware / TLE_IACSS9- 12ICCS-Ia-e-28

1. Assemble computer hardware in accordance with established procedures and
system requirements
2. Perform BIOS configuration in accordance with hardware requirements.
Lesson
4
One of the basic skills that you must acquire in computer hardware servicing
is to independently assemble and disassemble a personal computer or simply setting
up a PC. After familiarizing with all the tools and safety precautions, you are now
ready to gain another experience in CSS by going through this lesson.
INSTALLATION OF HARDWARE COMPONENTS AND OTHER PERIPHERALS
Step 1. Prepare your workplace

• Take Inventory
• Make Space, Make Time
• Prepare Grounding Protection and hand
tools to be needed
• Have the Drivers Ready
Step 2. Prepare the Motherboard

Great care should be taken when
installing the motherboard. First, take the
board out of its packaging and put it on top of
the antistatic bag it came (if new) Remember,
you always want to safeguard your components
from potentially hazardous static electricity
(wear your strap).
Step 3. Install Memory (RAM)
In order to install the memory modules, insert them into the proper sockets and
push down firmly but evenly until the clips on both sides of the socket pop into
place.
23
Step 4. Place the motherboard into the case
Note the pattern of the holes in your motherboard and screw brass standoffs into
the motherboard tray or into the PC case in the correct locations. Carefully position
the motherboard on top of the brass standoffs, line up all the holes, and use the
screws that accompanied the case to fasten down the motherboard.
Step 5. Connect the Power Supply
• First, plug the large ATX power connector from your power supply into the
matching port on your motherboard.
• Locate the smaller, square processor power connector (you cannot miss it -
it is the one sprouting the yellow and black wires) and attach it to the
motherboard.
• Attach each of the tiny leads(power, reset, hard-disk activity lights, PC
speaker, and front-panel USB) to the corresponding pin on your
motherboard.
Step 6. Install Internal Drives
• Install the CD/DVD drive, connect the data and power cable.
24
• Install the hard disk drive. Same
with the CD//DVD drive, connect
the data and power cable.
Note: don’t forget to screw both devices
Step 7. Connect/Plug-in the Peripherals
• Attach the monitor cable to the video port. Secure the cable by tightening the
screws on the connector.
• Plug the keyboard cable into the PS/2 keyboard port.
• Plug the mouse cable into the PS/2 mouse port.
• Plug the USB cable into a USB port.
• Plug the network cable into the network port.
• Plug the power cable into the power supply.
Steps in Personal Computer Disassembly

Step 1. Unplugging
Unplug every cable that is plugged in to your
computer. That includes the cables such as power,
USB, mouse, keyboard, internet, monitor, etc. Just
unplug all the cables for safety purposes.
Step 2. Opening the Outer Shell/Case

First, unscrew the four screws at the back of the
computer. On most computer cases, there will be
large knobs that you can unscrew by hand or by
screw driver on the back-right side of the computer.
The left side has small screws because on that side
you can't access much on the inside.
Step 3. Removing the System Fan

First, unplug the fan from the motherboard. You
can find the plug by following the wire from the
fan. Next, you will have to unscrew the fan from
the outside. You should now be able to lift the fan
out of the PC.
25
Step 4. Removing the CPU Fan
The CPU fan is located on top of the CPU
heat sink, which is a large piece of metal
with fins on the top. The CPU fan plugs into
the motherboard, just follow the wires and
you should easily find it. To remove the fan
from the heat sink, remove the four screws
securing it in place.
Step 5. Removing the Power Supply

The first thing to do is unplug every wire coming from the power supply. Once
everything is unplugged, unscrew the four screws holding the power supply in
place, on the back of the computer. Next, push the power supply from the outside,
and then lift it out.
Step 6. Removing CD/ DVD Drive

First, unplug the cable (IDE or SATA) from the back of the drive and the mother
board. Once that is completed, pull on the tab securing the drive in place, then
push it out from the inside.
Step 7. Removing the Hard Drive
First, also unplug the cable (IDE or SATA)

from the hard drive and the motherboard. The
portable hard drive slot is secured the same
way the CD/DVD drive is, with a tab. Pull on
the tab, then slide the slot out.
26
Step 8. Removing the Memory (RAM)
To remove the RAM, push down on both tabs holding the RAM in place, which are
located at both ends of the RAM.
Step 9. Removing the Motherboard
Before removing the motherboard unplug the tiny leads (power, reset, hard-disk
activity lights, PC speaker, and any front-panel USB) into the motherboard. The
motherboard has seven screws holding it to the frame, which are indicated by large
white circles around them. Remove them and then lift the motherboard out of the
frame.
BASIC COMPUTER CONFIGURATION SETUP
Configuration
• Configuration is the way a system is set up, or the assortment of

components that make up the system
• Configuration can refer to either hardware or software, or the combination of
both.
Device Drivers
• Drivers are small software programs that help the operating system use or
363 “drive” the device. Whenever a device doesn’t work properly, ask if the
proper driver 364 has been installed.
BIOS
• Usually referred to as BIOS, is software stored on a small memory chip on

the motherboard.
27
The BIOS is the place which houses the settings for your computer's CPU, RAM,
storage and ports. In years gone by you’d be prompted during the PC boot up
sequence to ‘Press F1 to Enter Setup’ or words to that effect.
BIOS contain a number of hardware configuration options that can be changed
through the setup utility. Saving these changes and restarting the computer applies
the changes to the BIOS and alters the way BIOS instructs the hardware to function.

• Create portable bootable devices in accordance with software

manufacturer’s instructions
Lesson
5
Install software
http://www.salamancasystems.com/computerhardware.php
A computer system comprises both hardware and software components and
these two basic elements need to work in harmony. Operating systems software is
needed to run the computer. This module looks at the Microsoft operating systems
which currently dominate the market and you will learn how to create portable
bootable devices in accordance with software manufacturer instruction.
What is the importance of software?

Software engineering is important because specific software is needed in almost
every industry, in every business, and for every function.
It becomes more important as time goes on – if something breaks within your

application portfolio, a quick, efficient, and effective fix needs to happen as soon as
possible.
What is the need of computer software?

An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer. It
manages the computer’s memory and processes, as well as all of its software and
hardware. It also allows you to communicate with the computer without knowing
how to speak the computer’s language.
Why is computer software important for the function of the computer?

It’s comprised of operating systems, system and network management, and
information management. The operating system controls the basic functions of a
30
computer or network. It’s a software program that enables hardware to
communicate and operate with the computer software.
OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
When installing an operating system on your computer, it is important to consider

the following:
1. Check the system requirement of the operating system that you want to
install your computer. Most Windows installations require at least 1 GB RAM
and at least 10-20 GB hard disk space
2. Decide whether to purchase from a distributor or to download from Microsoft
website.
•If you decided to purchase from a distributor, you should have received an
installation disc along with your product code.
•If you don’t have a disc but have a valid product code, you can download a
copy of the disc online and burn the disc image to a disc or copy to a bootable USB
drive.
HOW TO CREATE A BOOTABLE USB USING CMD?

The information below shows the step-by-step procedure on how to create a
bootable USB drive without using any third party software.
Step 1: Using DISKPART command

1. Insert your USB storage in your running computer.
2. Access Command Prompt application by typing 'CMD' in the search box of
the Windows Start Menu.
3. From the search’s result, right click on the Command Prompt application
and select "Run as administrator".
4. Type 'disk part' in CMD (without quotes) and press the enter key. Wait for a
while until the DISKPART program runs.
5. When at DISKPART, type 'list disk' and press the enter key. This will show
the active disks as Disk0 for hard drive and Disk1 for your USB flash drive
including their total capacity.
6. The list disk command shows that disk 1 is the USB storage. Type
'selectdisk1' to confirm that disk 1 will be processed in the next step and
then press Enter key.
7. Type 'clean' and press Enter to remove all of data in the selected drive
(disk1).
8. Type 'create partition primary' and press enter key. This will create a
primary partition which will be recognized by Windows as 'partition1'.
9. Type 'select partition1' and press the enter key. This action prepares
‘partition1' to be set as an active partition in the next step.
10. Type 'active' and press Enter key. This activates current partition as active.
11. Type 'format fs=ntfs quick' and press the enter key. This formats the
current partition as NTFS file system.
12. Type 'exit' and press the enter key. This will make you exit from the
DISKPART program. Don't close the Command Prompt instead. We would
still need it for next process.
Step 2: Creating Boot Sector

1. Let’s assume that the flash / USB storage is in D: drive and the DVD
installer located on drive F:. The first step, we will navigate Command
Prompt to set installation DVD as its active directory.
31
2. By default, Command Prompt's active directory for Administrator permission
is on C:\Windows\System32>. We will navigate Command Prompt to set on
DVD (F:) as its active directory. Just type ‘F:' then press the enter key. This
will change the active directory to F:.
3. Type 'cd boot' and press Enter key. Active directory changed to F:\boot>.
4. Type 'boot sect /nt60 d:' and press the enter key. This creates a boot
sector on D: drive (USB flash drive).
5. When done, type 'exit' and press the enter key to close the Command Prompt.
In this step, you were able to create a bootable USB drive.
Step 3: Copying Installation Files

1. To install Windows from a bootable USB drive, we just need to copy the
whole installation files contained on the DVD installer to flash drive. To do
this, open the Command Prompt as in previous steps. Once it opens, type
the command below and press the enter key:
where /E = Copies directories and subdirectories including empty ones

/H = Copies hidden and system files
/F = Displays full source and destination file names while
copying
2. Wait until all the files in the DVD installer copied to the flash drive.
Now bootable USB drive is ready to be used for installing Windows
from flash drive.
HOW TO CREATE A BOOTABLE FLASH DRIVE USING RUFUS?
1. Prepare the following:
1.1 Disc Image (Windows or
Ubuntu
1.2Rufus Utility
(https://rufus.akeo.ie/)
1.3 At least 8GB Flash Drive
2. Insert the flash drive in the computer.
3. Run Rufus utility
4. When in Rufus interface, identify the
device to be used as bootable
5. Select the NTFS File System.
6. Locate the ISO image by clicking the
CD icon.
7. Click START

System software: System software consists of programs which facilitate the use of
computer by the users. These programs perform such standard tasks as organizing
and maintaining data files, translating programs written in various languages to a
form acceptable to the hardware, scheduling jobs as well as aiding in other areas of
computer operations.
• Operating System
35
An operating system (OS) is the program that, after being initially loaded into the
computer by a boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer. (Ex.
Windows 10 Professional, Windows 7)
• System Development Software
System development software are programs used in programming, documenting,
testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications and
frameworks resulting in a software product. (Ex. PHP, Pascal, Java, Python, and
C++)
• Utility Programs
Utility programs are small, powerful programs with a limited capability, they are
usually operated by the user to maintain a smooth running of the computer
system. Examples are file management, diagnosing problems and finding out
information about the computer etc. Notable examples of utility programs include
copy, paste, delete, file searching, disk defragmenter, disk cleanup. However,
there are also other types that can be separately installable from the Operating
System. (Ex. Antivirus, Registry Cleaners)
Application Software: Application program can be developed by the users
themselves using suitable programming languages. There are many programming
languages which allow us to write compute instructions in a text form. This is also
known as End-user program
• User Developed Program
End-user development (EUD) or end-user programming (EUP) refers to activities
and tools that allow end-users (people who are not professional software
developers) to program computers. People who are not professional developers
can use EUD tools to create or modify software. (Ex: Spreadsheets, Visual Basic,
scripting languages (particularly in an office suite or art application), and
programming.)
• Application Package
Bundle of two or more computer programs that together address a specific
business need. For example, an 'illustration package' might include a drawing
program, photograph manipulation program, page setting program, and a color
matching and output control (printing) program.

Lesson
Assemble Computer Hardware-
1 Software Application
INSTALLING SOFTWARE ON YOUR WINDOWS PC
Your computer allows you to do some really amazing things. Digital photo editing,
sophisticated computer gaming, video streaming—all of these things are possible
because of different types of software. Developers are always creating new software
applications, which allow you to do even more with your computer.
INSTALLING FROM A CD-ROM
From the mid-1990s through the late 2000s, the most common way to get new
software was to purchase a CD-ROM. You could then insert the disc, and the
computer would walk you through the installation.
Now, almost all software has moved away from this model. Many new computers no
longer include a CD-ROM for this reason. However, if you do need to install
software from a CD-ROM, simply insert the disc into your computer, then follow the
instructions.
INSTALLING SOFTWARE FROM THE WEB
Today, the most common way to get new software is to download it from the
Internet. Applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop can now be
purchased and downloaded right to your computer. You can also install free
38
software this way. For example, if you wanted to install the Google Chrome web
browser.
The installation file will be saved to your computer in .exe format. Pronounced dot
e-x-e, this is the standard extension for installation files on Windows computers.
You can follow the steps below to install an application from an .exe file.
Locate and download an .exe file.
Locate and double-click the .exe file. (It will usually be in your Downloads folder.)
A dialog box will appear. Follow the instructions to install the software.
The software will be installed. You can now open the application from the Start
menu (Windows 7) or the Start Screen (Windows 8).
39
Tips for finding software
In our experience, the easiest way to find new software is to search the Web. For
example, if you were looking for a way to edit some personal photos on your
computer, you could run a Google search for free photo-editing software. If you're
not exactly sure what kind of software you're looking for, try describing the tasks
you want to complete. For example, if you wanted a way to create to-do lists and
organize your appointments, you might search for something like free calendar
organizer software.
The Windows Store
If you're using Windows 8, you can download and install software from
the Windows Store. The Windows Store is meant to simplify the process of locating
and installing software from third-party developers—when you find an app in the
Windows store, you won't have to do any extra work to install it.
