BIOS
basic input output system (BIOS)
An operating system enables you to view files saved onto your storage devices and arrange them into a folder/directory/file structure.
The two main operating systems for personal devices (i.e smartphones, tablets) is iOS (produced by Apple Co.) and Android (produced by Google).
A computer's operating system can be compared to an executive manager; it manages all of the hardware and software. It allows the user to access and modify files, use external devices, and run software.
the two activities that the operating system manages are the (1) System Software and(2) Application Software.
BIOS
Device Manager
The BIOS manages the data between the operating system and all input and output devices attached to the system. The programs that manages operation and data transfer between computer programs and the attached devices are called device drivers, device handlers. device processors, io handlers, and other names depending on the computer and operating system. These programs are usually included with the operating system or added to the operating system to support devices not originally known to the operating system. On a PC (the common Personal Computer) these programs are included in the flashable read only memory called the system BIOS (Basic Input Output System). Besides basic system startup testing and functionality, it also provided a device driver interface for software to access standard known devices on the machine without the programs having to know the specifics of hardware programming. Some operating systems and standalone software supply their own device drivers (ignoring BIOS provided versions) either to support devices not supported by the BIOS or to supply more efficient or more capable implementations of device drivers.

Operating systems software manages the hardware on your computer, and provides an interface between the user- or application software, and the computer hardware.

KERNEL component of Operating System manages & controls the Hardware of the Computer and SHELL component enables Users to use Computer & Its connected devices.
