Computers need software to function, and that software has changed fundamentally since the very first computers were created. Nowadays, sophisticated operating systems (OSs) are used to perform everyday tasks. In this course, learn about computer operating systems, including the types and basic features of OSs and the application hardware interface. Next, explore Windows management, including managing applications, devices, users, and access control. Finally, investigate file systems, key OS features, task scheduling, and common methods for tweaking a Windows OS, including using command line interfaces (CLIs) to perform operations. This course helps prepare learners for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam, FC0-U61.
