Yes, a driver is a specialized software program that allows the operating system to communicate with hardware devices. It acts as a translator between the hardware and the software applications, ensuring that commands and data are properly understood by both sides. Without drivers, the operating system would not be able to effectively control or utilize the hardware components of a computer.
