What Is Computer Software?
Computer Software is an essential program that is must be needed for a Computer System to work properly with the help of Hardware. Computer Software tells the computers through instructions that what to do and how.
Types of Computer Software :
- System Software
- Application Software
System Software
System Software is a type of Computer Program (software) which is needed to manage the computer system and its a connected component. It is a very necessary software which helps a computer system is functioning properly. The system software is a program which is designed to run the computer's hardware and application programs
This software controls all activities of the computer and its devices. All computers use system software cannot work without this software. The most common operating system on the PC is the Windows operating system and Mac operating system used by Mac PCs.
System Software helps users to establish a working environment with Computer Peripherals. Each and every component have their own Software which comes along with them from their respective manufacturing companies and that software is known as "Device Driver".
System Software controls the operation of computer hardware and provides an environment or platform for all other types of software to work.

Application Software
Application Software is a type of user-designed Computer Program (software) that is used for performing different operations like - Word Processing, Programming, Web Development, etc.
Application software is a program that allows users to perform certain tasks on a computer.
Application Software helps users to provide instructions to the system to execute any job with the required criteria. It is a computer software package that performs a specific function for another application. An application can be self-contained or a set of programs. A program is a set of activities that run the application for the user.
Applications use the computer's OS and other supporting programs to manage the system software. Application software differs from other pre-bundled software such as the utility with the computer's operating system.
