What is an operating system ?
Ans: An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages
computer hardware resources and provides common services for compute
programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system
software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an
operating system to function.
Q. What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of operating
system?
Ans: The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor
(also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows
handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively
than a 32-bit system. 32 bit system has a limit of 4GB RAM to process data
where as the 64 bit operating system has 2^64 bits of space to address and
supports 16 hexabytes of RAM to process data.
What is File System ?
In computing, a file system (or file system) is used to control how
information is stored and retrieved. Without a file system, information
placed in a storage area would be one large body of information with no way
to tell where one piece of information stops and the next begins.
FAT32 Vs NTFS
 NTFS
1. Recovers Some disk related issues.

GB.
