Here are some effective questions to start a conversation about upgrading an operating system
Performance and Efficiency:
"Have you experienced any performance issues or slowdowns with your current system?" "Do you find your current OS supports your productivity and workflow needs?"
Future Technology Adoption
"Are you planning to adopt new technologies or software that require a more advanced operating system?" "How important is it for you to stay updated with the latest OS features and enhancements?"
Hardware- ANY PHYSICAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE, COMPUTERS, ADAPTER CARDS AND ETHERNET CABLES ARE EXAMPLES FIRMWARE= Specialized software programmed directly into a hardware device's non-volatile memory. Unlike regular software, it is closely tied to the hardware it operates. Provides low-level control for the device's specific hardware functions. It is essential for the device's basic operation. Examples include the BIOS or UEFI in computers, and embedded programs in routers or printer.
The main difference is that hardware is the physical aspect, software is the set of instructions for tasks, ( ADOBE PRODUCTS, GAMERS SOFTWARE) and firmware is a specialized form of software that allows hardware to operate and communicate effectively.
4 MAIN COMPONENTS OF COMPUTER
PROCESSOR - BRAIN CPU - is a central processing unit is the core component of a computer that handles general computation ( intel, amd, intel qualcom) HARD DRIVE - STORAGE-LONG TERM - RAM- RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY GRAPHICS- WINDSHIELD -GPU NPU- Neural Processing Unit GPU-graphics processing unit

what question will you ask to initiate a conversation about upgrading the professor? to know what specific processor you will be using
- do you foresee using more intensive programs in the future? -do you run several intense program at the same time?
RAM= random access memory/it is a temporary storage are
RAM QUESTION
-How many programs do you run at the same time? -how many sites do you have up at the same time? -what types of program do you use? -how intense are the programs you run?
Storage- in a computer is like a digital closet where all your flies, photos, music, games and apps are kept.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF STORAGE
HARDDRIVE- this is a big. old fashioned filing cabinet SOLID STATE DRIVE
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SSD?
-it is much faster than the traditional hard drive.
APU- accelerated processing unit - it combines cpu and gpu motherboard identification-
