W h a t ’ s I n

From the previous lesson, you have learned how to make software installers. Can
you remember what devices are you able to create portable, bootable installers of
applications and operating systems? Below are pictures for you to identify.






W h a t ’ s N e w

What if you are asked by your friend to help him choose and buy a laptop from the
mall. What things do you need to consider before you buy a laptop? Will you
consider what operating system does the laptop have and what version is it in? Do
you know what particular operating system is currently trending on the market?
Can you site an example? What about if the laptop chosen by your friend has no
installed operating system? Do you know how to install an OS to help your friend?

Defining the System Software
System Software are programs that work behind the scene and without user
intervention in most situations perform other tasks such as loading and running a
program, protecting computer from viruses and hackers, performing regular
checks, controlling hardware devices connected to the computer such as the
printer, sharing of memory resources, and coordinating connected computers or
networks.

What are the types of System Software
An Operating System or OS is the most important software that runs on a
computer. It is a program that is responsible for the coordination, management,
and sharing of hardware resources and tasks in the computer.

8. 8





The Utility Software is a program that performs maintenance tasks for the
computer’s resources, such as clean up and organizing files and programs so they
would load and work faster.
An Anti-Virus Software is a program designed to detect, identify, and remove
computer viruses and other malicious software (malware) from the computer.
A Device Driver is a program that allows a particular hardware device to work and
communicate with the computer system.

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)is a program or code that helps the
processor to interact and control the other components in the computer like
monitor, printer, scanner, card reader, speakers, joystick, microphone, camera,
disc drives, TV/video/sound card, network cards, USB ports, and hard drives. It
also does the boot process before the operating system do its work.

Other system software are HD Sector Boot, Linker, Assembler, and Compiler.

The procedures in installing Windows 7 operating system :
1. Turn your computer on then press Del or F2 (depending on your
computer’s main board) to enter the system BIOS.
2. Go to Boot menu and choose Boot from CD/DVD as your pri ority 1.

Peripherals Defined
The Computer Peripherals/Devices are the physical, touchable, electronic and
mechanical parts of a computer. They are also known as Hardware, which are
composed of different devices attached to the computer through the motherboard.
Some of its examples are: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, printer and many
others.

Steps on Installing a Printer
Most of the devices connected to the computer are installed instantly the moment
they plugged to its ports this process is called Plug & Play. But the printer needs to
be installed with a special program before it can be used by the computer. For our
example, we will be using an Epson L3110 Ecotank Inkjet Printer since it is the
most common printer used by offices today.
For new printers, follow the manual instructions in unboxing your printer
which comes with the product.
If it is your first time to install this printer to your computer follow the step by step
procedure below:

Step 1: Insert the installer CD to your CD/DVD Drive - if you do not have a CD
