An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs require an operating system to function. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware . The most popular and latest ones include the Windows XP, Mac, UNIX, Linux, Windows Vista, etc.
The computer's main memory (RAM) is physical hardware used to help the computer quickly access information that it uses a lot. That is the space in which the operating system and running programs reside. The registry is a collection of files stored on your computer's hard drive that contains information and configuration information for the operating system and other programs installed on your computer. Parts of the registry may be stored in your computer's RAM while the computer is running. In the past, Windows used a collection of .INI files wherever any programs were located to store the configuration information. Then starting with Windows 95, they consolidated it into two files, and into even more files in Windows NT and 2000. Now there are 6-7 files called "hives" which comprise the system registry.

the registry is where all the settings for windows and other apps are stored. this is a very important place for windows. sometimes when you uninstall programs, things in the registry are not deleted thet should be. it is a good idea to get a propgram to clean your registry once in a while or it could lead to a slow computer.
You can upgrade to from older versions of Windows to the latest like XP to Vista but installed programs will probably be removed and need to be reinstalled, and you need to be careful about the stored information on your computer. P.S. Windows 7 is newer and thus recommended instead of Vista in case you already did not know.
