No, It is a paperweight. An operating system system is required to perform calculations or display graphics. Any media available to the BIOS that contains a boot image is sufficient, such as USB thumb drive/external hard drive, internal hard drive, carom, floppy disk, network *PXE boot, PCoIP zero client.

What cannot be removed from a computer?
It all depends on the computer, if you mean the actual operating system, it varies a whole lot. If you mean the CPU itself and the components, pretty much everything is removable, usually the power supply cannot be removed from a computer case. Hope this helps!
How can the present computer system be upgraded to meet the challenges now and the future?
yes, but only to an extent, as newer technologies become available, outdated items wont be of much use, ex) I can upgrade my own computer I built with the latest CPU, but if another CPU comes out in the future, it might require a more powerful motherboard which would be in a sense, "changing" the "present" computer to a "future computer"
System Availability?
This describes how much time over the course of a given amount of time that the computer system was available to users/ Or you could say, the amount of time the computer is working correctly. ----
Why would a modern computer system in general possibly need an operating system?
operating systems tell the different parts of the computer how to talk to one another and let the user do the same. any computer is just a paper weight without an operating system to get all it's parts working together. even with an OS without application software, a computer is not much of a useful tool for the average person.
Why computer need operating system?
Technically they don't. They're just much much more useful with one. The operating system provides a means to run other programs and do basic housekeeping chores on the computer.A computer can be built to run without an operating system, instead executing a particular program at startup which then takes over control of the computer and handles everything internally. In fact, an operating system itself is just such a program, though one that can temporarily transfer (partial or complete) control over to other programs.
Can you say all software which is necessary for a computer?
The only necessary software for a computer to operate is the operating system. Everything else is software that you want to do things with. Different people will want to do different things with their computer, so what one person needs might be of no relevance to another person. But without an operating system you cannot do anything, as all the applications need that to run. If all you have on your computer is an operating system, then there is not much you can do with it, as you will then want applications. Even a lot of the things that are shipped as part of the operating system, like text editors, are not needed for the computer to function. Some of these are known as utilities. So the operating system is the only necessary software, and after that it is whatever you want to be able to do with the computer that will determine what you deem to be necessary.
What is the purpose of an operating system?
An operating system is the framework that allows you to communicate with computer hardware in an interactive way. Without this, you would not be able to tell the computer to do anything and it would have any instructions to follow. This is why it is important for a computer to have an operating system. In early days without OS so much problems where faced like accessing or getting output it takes two days. To make it much more efficient OS is used.To Execute user program easier. To solve the user problem easily.To make the computer system convenient to use. there are three objective of Operting system-1:- convenience2:-Efficiency3:-Ability to evolvethe three main objectives of operating systems are:to be convenient and efficient for userto allocate resourcesto provide abstraction
How much is a Mac vs. a Linux?
A Mac is a computer the cost of which varies depending on which model you buy. Linux is an operating system that is free. You can use the Linux operating system on a Mac if required.
What operating system has been attacked most by computer viruses?
The Windows operating system has been attacked the most by viruses. That is not so much because it is insecure as much as it is popular. If you were a malicious hacker and you only had time to target a single operating system, then you would likely choose the one with the most users.
What is Linux is it a example of a personal computer operating system?
Yes, Linux is like an operating system much like Windows OS or Mac OS. Linux is kind of like a community of Operating Systems. A popular OS from Linux is Ubuntu.
Is the operating system a processor or storage?
It is neither, the storage is the hardrive and the proccessor pretty much gives the computer life and speed. The OS (operating system) is the type of thing your computer is run from. For example Windows 7 is an OS and so is Mac's Snow Leapord.
What is seaching technique?
The reason people need a Searching Technique is from realising how much information is on a modern computer. Depending on the Operating System you are using there are ways to start a search of - the computer you are sitting in front of, the network you are conected to, any other storage devices that are connected to the computer you are in front of. The Operating System help system is a form of search.
What is the cost of an operating system?
This varies widely from one OS to another. As with many other things it is commonly whatever the market will bear, as in general a computer without an operating system won't do much useful work. However there are opensource OSs (e.g. Linux, OpenVMS) that can be obtained free or at very low cost.
What operating system to most computer viruses infect?
The operating system that most if not all viruses are made for is Windows. Since Windows was the first operating system built and most people own a Windows operating computer, then won't you think most viruses will target and infect Windows computers? Mac and Unix computers generally won't acquire viruses since not much of them are written for their platforms.
The computer relies on an operating system to provide the interface for interaction between what three things?
An operating system has three main functions: (1) manage the computer's resources, such as the central processing unit, memory, disk drives, and printers, (2) establish a user interface, and (3) execute and provide services for applications software. Keep in mind, however, that much of the work of an operating system is hidden from the user; many necessary tasks are performed behind the scenes. In particular, the first listed function, managing the computer's resources, is taken care of without the user being aware of the details. Furthermore, all input and output operations, although invoked by an applications program, are actually carried out by the operating system. Although much of the operating system functions are hidden from view, you will know when you are using an applications software package, and this requires that you invoke-call into action-the operating system. Thus you both establish a user interface and execute software.
