It is possible to launch one operating system from another operating system or on top of another operating system?

Depending on the base operating system, yes. In almost all cases, the operating system from which the second one is loaded lacks memory protection, allowing the second operating system to replace the first one in memory. This can be used, for instance, to boot Linux from MS-DOS or classic versions of Mac OS.


What is Windows 10?

Released in 2015, Microsoft Windows 10 is the successor to Microsoft Windows 8. The new Microsoft Windows 8 interface faced harsh criticism by many users when it removed the familiar start menu of previous versions. Microsoft Windows 10 addressed the criticism by returning the familiar start. Also a problem, the Windows 8 apps were allowed to run as a desktop application instead of requiring the Microsoft Windows 8 app interface. It also introduced the new Microsoft Edge browser that would replace Internet Explorer. Windows 10 is a successor to Windows 8.1. Additionally, Windows 10 just gives your laptop an entirely different experience compared to what you'd usually get on Windows 7 and earlier versions.


What is happening when a computer is turned on and the operating system is being loaded?

On a "traditional" PC, the sort most homes have, running Windows operating system, when you power up the machine it runs through a boot cycle. This includes: The BIOS (Basic input/output system) The BIOS' job is to check the hardware components of your machine, looking for harddrives, floppy drives, memory, keyboards, mice, processors etc... all the hardware components that make up a complete PC. It performs various checks, in many PCs this includes checking that the keyboard and mouse are attached. If they are not, the system grinds to a halt. After the bios has run, it checks your main hard drive for an operating system "bootloader". If it can't find one, it will either prompt you to insert a CD or will again come to a grinding halt. The Bootloader tells the machine what operating system you have installed, and where to look for it on your harddrive. Once it finds your operating system, it will load up "driver" files. Driver files make all your hardware work correctly. They are the bits of software that for example, tell your Monitor it should change resolution, or tell your modem to pick up the phone line and dial a number... With windows (and other operating systems) there are driver files that are quite critical, and need to be loaded before the system can start. If they are missing or damaged the system will stop responding. At best, it may prompt you to enter "safe mode" where you can attempt to repair or replace these files. Once all that is done, the main operating system loads the GUI. The Graphic User Interface - the screen and controls we are all used to. Then its simply a case of selecting your user account and logging on. On other computer equipment, these procedures may vary. But in general, thats how it happens.


Why is the shell not part of the operating system itself?

Operating systems do 2 things: (1). Providing an easier abstraction layer (system calls) for user programs to access the real HW machine. (2). It manages the system resource. It this view, the shell is not considered as part of the operating system because: (1). It acts as a interpreter(from user command to system calls) only, and (2). It runs in user mode, and (3). It is highly possible to replace the shell if you don't like one.
