Operating System

Operating Systems (OS) are the fundamental software that manage computer hardware and software resources, enabling communication between users and the machine. The OS handles tasks like memory management, process scheduling, file handling, and device control. Popular operating systems include Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix, each offering unique features for different computing environments.

Operating System certifications validate expertise in understanding and managing OS concepts like system architecture, processes, file systems, and security. Certifications such as the CompTIA IT Fundamentals or Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Fundamentals demonstrate proficiency in OS management and troubleshooting. These certifications open up career opportunities in IT support, system administration, and network management, making certified professionals valuable assets in the tech industry.
