At this point, it goes without saying that a PC’s operating system is perhaps the most important piece of software it has. Not in vain is it the first one that is loaded when we turn on our computer, we are already talking about a Linux distribution, Microsoft Windows, or any other.
If we focus on desktops, for many years the undisputed leader has been the software giant’s Windows system.

For many users who love Halo game saga, the fifth installment is the best of all. This is for a multitude of reasons, such as history or graphics comprising.
