What is the meaning of Booting in the operating system ? Correct Answer Restarting computer

The correct answer is Restarting computer.

Key Points

  • The process of starting a computer is known as booting.
  • It can be triggered by either hardware, such as a button press, or software, such as a command.
  • The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer has no software in its main memory when it is turned on, thus some processes must load software into memory before it can be run.
  • This can be done by the CPU's hardware or firmware, or by a separate processor in the system.
  • Rebooting a computer is another term for restarting a computer. Rebooting can be "hard," such as when the power to the CPU is switched from off to on, or "soft," when the power is not cut.
