What You Will Learn
In the previous lesson, you learned about remote help and AnyDesk. Now we will understand the complete foundation of a computer — the difference between Windows and Office.
This gives every beginner a clear picture of the entire system.
1. What is Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows is an Operating System.
An Operating System means: the software that runs the computer and allows other programs to function.
Without Windows:
- • The computer will not start
- • Software will not open
- • Files cannot be managed
When you start your computer and see the Desktop, Start Menu, and Taskbar — all of that is part of Windows.
Microsoft Windows comes in different versions such as Windows 10 and Windows 11. However, basic features like the Desktop, Start Menu, and Taskbar are similar across all versions.
2. What is Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office is a software package used for office work.
It includes several programs:
- • Word
- • Excel
- • PowerPoint
- • Outlook
All of these run on top of Windows. This means:
- • Windows → runs the computer
- • Office → provides the tools to get work done
