An operating system is the software that manages a computer's hardware, applications, files and user sessions.
Practical operating systems guides and troubleshooting.
Which operating-system guide should I choose?
Choose the family and version installed on the computer you are supporting. Windows, Linux and Windows Server use different tools and permission models. A familiar-looking desktop does not guarantee that a command or setting applies to that version.
What information should I collect first?
Record the operating-system version, the problem and any recent change. Use a system-information guide if the version is unclear. Follow the guide's supported platforms and expected result before trying the same instructions on another machine.
