| What is User Interface? (OS) | Provides a way for the user to communicate with the operating system. |
| What is Memory Management? (OS) | Each program will have it’s own data to be stored in RAM. The OS ensures that this data is organised and that no program can change the data of another program. |
| What is Peripheral Management and Drivers? (OS) | - Communication between computers and peripherals is controlled by drivers. This is the software that tells the computer and the peripheral how to communicate with each other. - The OS manages the peripherals and usually allows the user to make minor modifications. |
| What is User Management? (OS) | .The OS usually allows for a number of users to be set up with their own accounts, security, settings and applications. |
