Introductory Message
Welcome to TVL 11- ICT(Computer System Servicing)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Antique and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TVL 11- ICT (Computer System Servicing) Activity Sheet will help you

procedures and to comply with end-user requirements

II. Background Information for Learners

What is an Operating System?

An operating system the software that supports a computer's basic
functions, such as scheduling tasks, executing applications, and controlling
peripherals. The operating system can be considered as core software
component of the computer. It performs many functions and an interface between
your computer hardware using what is referred to as "drivers", and the programs
installed in your computer.

After assembling your computer, you cannot use it immediately. When you
boot your computer, the first thing that executes in your hardware is the one
installed in the CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) which is the
BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The BIOS job is to:
1. Check the custom CMOS Setup
2. Load interrupt handlers and device managers
3. Initialize registers and power management
4. Perform the power-on self-test (POST)
5. Display system settings
6. Determine which devices are bootable
7. Initiate the bootstrap sequence

Without the operating system, the computer could not open any games or
office programs like Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. The user cannot do
anything useful with the computer without the operating system. Look at the

Windows 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. Approximately
90 percent of PCs run some version of Windows.

The first version of Windows, released in 1985, was simply a GUI offered
as an extension of Microsoft’s existing disk operating system, or MS-DOS. Based
in part on licensed concepts that Apple Inc. had used for its Macintosh System
Software, Windows for the first time allowed DOS users to visually navigate a
virtual desktop, opening graphical “windows” displaying the contents of electronic
folders and files with the click of a mouse button, rather than typing commands
and directory paths at a text prompt.

Subsequent versions introduced greater functionality, including native

Windows File Manager, Program Manager, and Print Manager programs, and a
more dynamic interface. Microsoft also developed specialized Windows packages,
including the networkable Windows for Workgroups and the high-powered
Windows NT, aimed at businesses. The 1995 consumer release Windows 95 fully
integrated Windows and DOS and offered built-in Internet support, including the
World Wide Web browser Internet Explorer.

With the 2001 release of Windows XP, Microsoft united its various
Windows packages under a single banner, offering multiple editions for
consumers, businesses, multimedia developers, and others. Windows XP
abandoned the long-used Windows 95 kernel (core software code) for a more
powerful code base and offered a more practical interface and improved
application and memory management. The highly successful XP standard was
succeeded in late 2006 by Windows Vista, which experienced a troubled rollout
and met with considerable marketplace resistance, quickly acquiring a reputation
for being a large, slow, and resource-consuming system. Responding to Vista’s
disappointing adoption rate, Microsoft in 2009 released Windows 7, an OS whose
interface was similar to that of Vista but was met with enthusiasm for its noticeable
speed improvement and its modest system requirements.

Windows 8 in 2012 offered a start screen with applications appearing as

tiles on a grid and the ability to synchronize settings so users could log on to
another Windows 8 machine and use their preferred settings. In 2015 Microsoft
released Windows 10, which came with Cortana, a digital personal assistant like
Apple’s Siri, and the Web browser Microsoft Edge, which replaced Internet
Explorer. Microsoft also announced that Windows 10 would be the last version of
Windows, meaning that users would receive regular updates to the OS but that no
more large-scale revisions would be done.

INTRODUCTION
As with any OS installation, we should initially plan the installation
procedure. When you run the Windows 7 Setup program, you need to provide
information about how to install and configure the OS. Planning and make your
installation of Windows 7 more productive by helping you to maintain a strategic
distance from potential issues during installation. An understanding of the setup
alternatives will likewise guarantee that you have appropriately configured your
system.

Here are some of the most important things you should take into
consideration when planning for your Windows 7 installation:
• Check System Requirements
• Check Hardware and Software Compatibility
• Determine Disk Partitioning Options
• Complete a Pre-Installation Checklist

System Requirements
• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor*
• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

x64 vs x86 installer

You need to choose whether or not to set up the 32-bit or 64-bit variant of
Windows 7. The Windows 7 set up package incorporates both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions of Windows 7. Fundamentally, the 64-bit version of Windows handles a
lot of memory (RAM) more adequately than a 32-bit architecture. Along these
lines, on the off chance that you are going to use Windows 7 on a pc with larger
than 4 GB of RAM, it is recommended to use the 64-bit version.

Note: Either way, you can't utilize a current 32-bit variant of a previous OS
to perform a set an in-place upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows 7, and you'll
have to format and introduce a new fresh copy. Additionally, you can't use a
 current 64-bit version of a previous OS to perform an in-place upgrade to a 32-bit
rendition of Windows 7.

Type of Installation

• Upgrade (In-place upgrade) – This alternative replaces your present variant of

Windows with Windows 7, and keeps your records, settings, and projects set up
on your PC.
• Custom ("fresh" installation) – This choice replaces your present version of
Windows with Windows 7, yet does not keep your records, settings, and
programs. It is occasionally referred to a bare metal installation for that reason.

As usual, a new installation is much better, and it is strongly suggested

using that method. Regardless of whether you have a current Windows XP/Vista
OS on your PC, is prescribe that you format it and install a new copy of the OS.

Installation Procedures for Windows 7

V. Reflection
As computer hardware technology gets more sophisticated, so is the program
that must be installed in the system. And this is all because of the demand of the users
for better application software experience. The Windows 7 is known to be easy to use,
works as how the user intends to use it. Some of the cybercafes still use Windows 7 as
it is easy to troubleshoot and still meets the minimum specification of the current games.
However, in January 14, 2020, the user must upgrade to Windows 10 because
Microsoft will be discontinuing all technical support, software updates, security updates,
and any other fixes after that date. Most of the windows users have opted to upgrade
due to the latest OS, and some they might need help from those who are
knowledgeable in computer software manipulation.

As a computer technician, why is it important for you to learn how to install

operating system?
