Most file extensions may be seen in the properties window that appears when you right-click on a file and choose that option from the menu that appears (Microsoft Windows environment).
A company is using Windows 7 and Windows XP as its operating systems and it has about 5000 computers so basically, they would like to upgrade their PCs but the problem is that the computers have different storages, harddisk, and hard drives so these are the stats of the computers:
o 2500 Desktop PC’s (1GHZ CPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB HDD) o 1500 Desktop PC’s (1.4GHZ CPU, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD) o 1000 Desktop PC’s (2.4GHZ CPU, 8 GB RAM, 128GB HDD)
Advise the company on which operating system that they can upgrade to that is cost-efficient yet user friendly, distinguish why you have chosen this operating system as compared to other operating systems. Advise on additional hardware that is required to support your chosen operating system and explain how it may or may not be possible to re-use some of the existing hardware for the next 10 years.
