What is the Process of loading operating system software into a computer main memory from disk?
The process of loading operating system software into a computer's main memory from disk begins when the computer is powered on and the BIOS or firmware performs a power-on self-test (POST). Afterward, it locates the bootloader on the bootable disk, which is responsible for loading the operating system. The bootloader reads the operating system files from the disk and transfers them into the main memory (RAM). Once loaded, the operating system initializes hardware components and prepares the system for user interaction.

Why is it important to check the minimum system requirements when installing an operating system?
The operating system is loaded into the computers internal memory (RAM) at start-up. The operating system needs to 'reserve' chunks of memory to enable it to perform its functions swiftly and accurately. If a computer doesn't have enough RAM, the computer cannot run the operating system efficiently, often using empty hard-disk space - which slows down the computer.
