Answer:
System software is software designed to operate the computer hardware and to provide a platform for running application software. There are two types of system software: Operating System Software – Manages the computer hardware and software. Utility Software - Tools designed to help the user manage the computer system.
There are two things that make up a computer system - the physical parts of the machine (the hardware) and the programs that make them run (the software). Without either of these, the device would simply not be a computer.
The most important piece of hardware in a computer is the CPU (Central Processing Unit) which acts as the brain of the computer. The other core pieces of a computer are the power supply, motherboard (which sends signals around the computer) and the computer case. Technically, all other parts of a computer are referred to as peripheral devices - that is devices that can be connected to a computer but is not part of the core architecture.
