Installations

Installations are divided into three types, System installations, Hardware installation and Software installs.

System Installation

A new installation of a windows operating system normally partitions the hard disk into one or more partitions (C: drive, D: drive, etc.). The operating system is loaded onto one of these partitions. The partition that the operating system is actually loaded from is marked as the active partition. Once the operating system is loaded, updates and an antivirus program should be installed immediately to prevent the corruption or the system.

Software Installation

Software has historically been considered an intermediary between electronic hardware and data. The output of a particular piece of executed software may be the input for another executed piece of software. Therefore, software may be considered an interface between hardware, data, and/or (other) software.

Once the operating system is loaded on the system, software needs to be loaded to allow the user to interface with the system and perform useful tasks (writing a letter, sending an E-mail or viewing photographs, etc.).

Hardware Installation

Computer hardware is the physical part of a computer, including the digital circuitry. The hardware of a computer is infrequently changed, in comparison with software and data, which are "soft" in the sense that they are readily created, modified or erased on the computer. Computer hardware consists of various boards such as modems and sound cards. Hardware can be inside or outside the computer case. Some examples of hardware that is outside the computer case are printers, external modems, scanners and USB drives.
