A computer boot process is the procedure of starting a computer from scratch, culminating in the loading of and operating system.
if your operating system is not functioning your computer will not process data
Only one operating system can hold control of the computer at at time. With virtualization, you can run any number of operating systems inside a process, subject only to memory, space, and realistic processor resources. By multi-booting, you can select an operating to load, again only limited to space.
All of the information needed to keep track of a process when switching is kept in a data package called process control block.s A PCB is a data structure in the operating system kernel containing the information needed to manage a particular process. The PCB is the manifestation of a process in an operating system,

Also known as the process state, the execution context is the internal data the Operating system uses to control or supervise a process.
The computer controles the processes done at each process perdformed be it inputing data, turning on the computer where the bios will control the operating system. The computer understands in the sense that it has to understand the source code and interprete it into machine language (thus in binary form).
