What is Operating System Installation and Configuration?
Installing and configuring an operating system involves setting up the core software that manages computer hardware and resources. This process includes partitioning drives, selecting user accounts, defining network settings, and installing necessary drivers. A secure installation should minimize default services, apply the latest patches, and configure access controls to restrict unauthorized usage. Proper configuration ensures the operating system functions efficiently while also minimizing vulnerabilities.
