Best Answer

In computer terminology, this term means a device that can be installed into a computer without being configured and that won't cause hardware conflicts.

The function PLug and PLay is a procedure the computer attempts to perform when you first plug a USB device into your computer. If you have Windows Vista, the plug and play works everytime you connect any device. Any operating system earlier than Vista will only plug and play fewer devices depending on your service pack and the software updates. Devices such as Cellular Phones and MP3s need to be manually installed using the provided software install disk. PLug and PLay does not support LPT port devices and standard PS/2 mice and keyboards. Your computer automatically uses those ports as long as there is something plugged into it.

What are features of a plug and play?

First of all, plug and play means one is able to connect a device onto a computer which their computer recognizes which allows them to instantly use the device. Plug and play devices usually install the software needed for them to function instantly after they are connected. Other devices which do not have a plug and play feature usually include a dvd included in the retail box which one must install before hand, in order for the device to work. therefore, plug and play is a very useful function which saves you from the hassle of installing separate driver software.
