What is the purpose of “Device Drivers” on a computer? 10.) How would you go about installing “Device Drivers” if it does not install automatically? 11.) What are three “essential” computer peripherals in order to operate the computer? 12.) What are the two main different peripherals and what makes them different? 13.) What should be the first thing you check if your monitor turns black and why? 14.) What are the essential hardware components that make up a computer?

1.) The hotkeys to select all, copy, and paste on a PC are as follows:
– Select all: Ctrl + A
– Copy: Ctrl + C
– Paste: Ctrl + V

On a Mac, the hotkeys are slightly different:
– Select all: Command + A
– Copy: Command + C
– Paste: Command + V

2.) The hotkey to quickly switch between windows on a PC is Alt + Tab. On a Mac, it is Command + Tab.

3.) Files and folders are organized on a computer in a hierarchical manner using a directory structure. A directory is like a container that holds files and other directories. Directories can be nested within each other, forming a tree-like structure.

4.) The “directory” I am saving this word document in is determined by the file path or location on the computer’s file system. Without more specific information, it is difficult to determine the exact directory.

5.) Some common file extensions for images include JPEG or JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), PNG (Portable Network Graphics), GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), and TIFF (Tagged Image File Format).

6.) Three common web browsers that people use are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge (formerly Internet Explorer).

7.) The hotkey to quickly search for a keyword in most web browsers is Ctrl + F (on a PC) or Command + F (on a Mac).

8.) An easy way to look up or find information with the use of a computer with internet is to use an internet search engine, such as Google or Bing. By entering keywords or phrases related to the information you are looking for, the search engine will provide a list of relevant websites and resources.

9.) The purpose of “Device Drivers” on a computer is to facilitate communication between the operating system and hardware devices. Device drivers act as a bridge, allowing the operating system to recognize and interact with hardware components, such as printers, scanners, or graphics cards.

10.) If device drivers do not install automatically, one way to install them is to manually download and install the drivers from the manufacturer’s website. This often involves identifying the specific model of the device and selecting the appropriate driver from the manufacturer’s support page.

11.) Three “essential” computer peripherals in order to operate the computer are a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. These peripherals allow the user to input commands, navigate the interface, and view the output of the computer.

12.) The two main different peripherals are input devices and output devices. Input devices, such as keyboards and mice, are used to provide commands to the computer. Output devices, such as monitors or printers, allow the computer to display or produce information for the user.

13.) The first thing to check if a monitor turns black is the connection between the monitor and the computer. Ensure that the cable connecting the monitor to the computer is securely plugged in on both ends. If the connection is loose or faulty, it can cause the monitor to lose signal and display a black screen.

14.) The essential hardware components that make up a computer include the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), storage devices (e.g., hard drive or solid-state drive), motherboard, power supply unit (PSU), and peripherals (e.g., keyboard, mouse, and monitor). These components work together to enable the computer to perform various tasks and process data.
