Starting and Stopping the Computer

There are a number of ways to start and stop the computer.

Starting the Computer

You always start the computer using the power button.

respective modules installed. The computer will automatically load the
OS after you turn it on. This process is called booting.

run on. The most widely used operating system today is Microsoft Windows.
