Software are the programs in your hard drive\nHardware are the solid parts of your computer, RAM,HD,Mainboard...

The software that operates the computer\n\nlike the Winows software

Hi \n\nWell , its the kind of software that lets you manage either another part of the software , remote system or local machine. In otherwords is the part were you make changes to the running sofwares or system that connect to the software

Well it really depends on what software it is. Average software usually takes an x86 system with Windows ranging from Windows ME up to Windows 2003. The box or case the software is enclosed in, should have the recommended system requirements on how much is needed for it to run such as 900MHz and 128MB of RAM.

It works fine.  The software (programs) tell the hardware what to do, and the hardware does it. \n\ncouldn't be simpler. \n\nCheers!

A device driver, or a software driver is a specific type of computer software, typically developed to allow interaction with hardware devices. Typically this constitutes an interface for communicating with the device, through the specific computer bus or communications subsystem that the hardware is connected to, providing commands to and/or receiving data from the device, and on the other end, the requisite interfaces to the operating system and software applications. Often called a driver for short, it is a specialized hardware dependent computer program which is also operating system specific that enables another program, typically an operating system or applications software package or computer program running under the operating system kernel, to interact transparently with a hardware device, and usually provides the requisite interrupt handling necessary for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interfacing needs.

No, its the hardware, you dont evin need software.

Hardware Refers to objects that you can actually touch, like disks, disk drives, display screens, keyboards, printers, boards, and chips. In contrast, software is untouchable. Software exists as ideas, concepts, and symbols, but it has no substance.

A general-purpose machine that processes data according to a set of instructions that are stored internally either temporarily or permanently. The computer and all equipment attached to it are called hardware. The instructions that tell it what to do are called "software." A set of instructions that perform a particular task is called a "program" or "software program."

Hardware is something you can touch, software is computer program which is stored on a piece of hardware. :)

Motherboard, Hard drive etc. The internal components of your computer.\nSoftware is a program like Anti-Virus that you install into the Hardware.

Go to the manufacturer's website, they usually have the software for all their hardware there.

In information technology, hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other devices. The term arose as a way to distinguish the "box" and the electronic circuitry and components of a computer from the program you put in it to make it do things. The program came to be known as the software. \nHardware implies permanence and invariability. Software or programming can easily be varied. You can put an entirely new program in the hardware and make it create an entirely new experience for the user. You can, however, change the modular configurations that most computers come with by adding new adapters or cards that extend the computer's capabilities. \n\nLike software, hardware is a collective term. Hardware includes not only the computer proper but also the cables, connectors, power supply units, and peripheral devices such as the keyboard, mouse, audio speakers, and printers. \n\nHardware is sometimes used as a term collectively describing the physical aspects of telephony and telecommunications network infrastructure.

Untrue.\n\nHardware is equipment, such as a physical item like a computer monitor, a motherboard, or a hard drive. A key understanding to hardware is that you can't update hardware - you can replace it, but you can't actually update a piece of hardware.\n\nSoftware means a program, written in code. You can't hold software - it's just data. Soft refers to the fact that it's not "set in stone" - you can update code easily.\n\nFirmware is somewhere in the middle. It generally is used to denote a piece of hardware that may be updated - an example is the computer's BIOS chip (stands for Basic Input/Output System) - the chip is hardware, but you can update settings on the chip through a software interface.

That would depend on which system you're talking about!\n\nWithout more details, I'd say a "system password" is at the hardware / BIOS level, whereas a software password is at the operation system or application level. However, that's only a guess, as your question is rather vague.

quick and easily, apps are the programs that your PC runs that serve different purposes but they don't make your computer work, system software is what runs your PC and its devices.
