Can computers that use the same operating system use the same software and peripheral devices?
If they also use the same CPU architecture, yes.
If not a version of such software and peripheral device drivers will have to be compiled and built for the CPU architecture they use.
One example of this was Apple's migration of their Macintosh computers and Mac OS operating system from the Motorola 68000 CPU architecture to the PowerPC CPU architecture to the current Intel 80x86 family CPU architecture. At each transition both the operating system and all software had to be recompiled and rebuilt. Apple smoothed out these transitions by developing a format for application software files that allowed for storing both the code for the older and newer architectures, making the transition largely transparent to users.
What else can I help you with?
What part of software allow the operating system to communicate with peripheral devices?
The device drivers allow the operating system to communicate with peripheral devices.
What price of software allows an operating system to communicate with peripheral devices?
A device driver.
The ------------------manages the hardware components including the CPU memory storage and peripheral devices.?
what manages the computers hardware? THE TEXTBOOK ANSWER IS THE OPERATING SYSTEM
What is designed to specifically manage computer peripheral devices?
operating system
What is the use of android in mobile phones?
Android is a OS or Operationg System for Devices just like Windows is a Operating system for Computers. Its the Software that tells they devices how to function.
What is an embedded controller?
Invention patented by Hubert Kuo and I-Ming Lin on March 17th, 2003. Abstract: An embedded control unit is installed in a notebook computer, so as to take the place of the programmable processor in many conventional notebook computers for controlling peripheral devices. The embedded control unit includes a plurality of peripheral controllers, so as to control the peripheral devices usually used by typical notebook computers. The peripheral controllers can be directly connected to the peripheral devices, according to the specifications for different types and/or brands of notebook computers. In addition, the peripheral controllers can achieve control of the peripheral devices according to the non-adjustable internal register settings. In this way, the control of the peripheral devices can be achieved without using firmware, thereby simplifying the notebook computer development process and reducing the development cost.
What does device management mean in an operating system?
Device management controls peripheral devices by sending them commands in their own proprietary language. The software routine that knows how to deal with each device is called a "driver," and the OS requires drivers for the peripherals attached to the computer. When a new peripheral is added, that device's driver is installed into the operating system
What is an information system for multiple users?
A system for multiple users may have many computers and peripheral devices.
Use os safety and protective devices?
operating software
WHAT System software that lets the system unit interact with peripheral devices attached to it?
That sounds like you are asking about device driver software.
Can computers operate without an operating system?
yes, if they're mechanical devices.
What consists of connected computers and peripheral devices that are located close to each other?
LAN - Local Area Network
