Description

In this module, you learned about the troubleshooting process. Sometimes IT professionals have to ensure that the hardware used for a system is compatible with the OS and that there is no nonconformance. Nonconformance means you are not meeting the minimum requirements for the OS and compatible hardware that is either within the PC or attached to it. Some older hardware is not always compatible with the newer versions of operating systems. For example, an older adapter from an older MacBook does not plug into newer hardware. In this discussion, you and your peers will discuss the importance of hardware and OS compatibilities.

In your initial post, address the following:

  • Discuss the importance of OS and hardware compatibility and the impact of nonconformance.
  • Explain how troubleshooting hardware differs from troubleshooting software.

In response to two of your peers, address the following:

  • Explain whether you agree or disagree with your peers’ claims.
  • Then discuss how you would troubleshoot an issue for a computer that uses an OS that is not recommended based on the hardware (such as a MacBook that has Windows or Linux on it).

i need each post around two paragraphs. i will post the peer posts in a different post

OS and Hardware Compatibility
Software is mainly defined as a set of instructions used to guide the operations of a
computer system. The operating system is one great example of software, and it is mainly used
as a connection between the user and the computer’s hardware components (Cigniti, 2018). The
operating system ensures that the user can communicate and convey instructions to the computer
using available hardware components (the tangible features of the computer) (Cigniti, 2018).
Due to the constant interdependence between the Operating system and the computer hardware,
there is a great need to ensure that these two features are compa...
