Instruction Code, and purpose was to allow usage of computers to other people without mathematic and scientific background. Project rose to dominance of personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS during 1980’s, after that Microsoft introduced Windows which would came to dominate the market of personal computers.

systems on new or old hardware often will research what the manufacturer suggests for the operating system to work properly. The requirements for an operating system can be broken down into two categories hardware requirements and software requirements. Hardware Requirements are the resources that are needed to support an operating system. Microsoft has a set of suggested requirements and minimum requirements available to view on their web page.
