The most important program on any computer is the Operating System or OS.
Without the operating system your computer would be useless.
DOS or Disk-based Operating System is stored on a computer’s hard drive and is booted to RAM whenever the computer is turned on.
RAM chips will remember what you tell them and can even change to remember new information, but when the computer is turned off,
