Microsoft Windows
is the most widely used computer operating system in the world. It is preinstalled on most new computer systems and is compatible with a wide range of different computers. Microsoft Windows scales from small, embeddable computers to large servers containing multiple processors and enormous amounts of memory. Occasionally, the installation of Windows may become corrupt due to incompatible programs or viruses and other malware. You can reinstall Microsoft Windows to get rid of any unnecessary software on the computer system.
