Lesson 7.3 Compatibility

Description

In this lesson, students continue to compare and contrast different operating systems. Students learn how operating systems use file extensions to determine how to view different data types and how some extensions are only compatible with specific operating systems. Additionally, students learn about processors and the difference between a 32-bit processor and a 64-bit processor.


Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Compare and contrast file systems of different operating systems
  • Explain the role of the processor in a computer system
  • Explain the difference between a 32-bit and 64-bit processor and the impact it has on the operating system
