An operating system runs your computer, laptop, tablet and phone. The operating system is the brain of your computer and is responsible for telling all the other pieces of your computer what to do. When you click on an icon to open up a program it tells your computer what has to happen to wake that application up so that you can use it.
The most common desktop operating system is Microsoft Windows, followed by Mac OS and Android OS.
