Introduction

This page provides a comprehensive overview of Windows architecture, covering key components and their relationships.

The architecture is designed for scalability, maintainability, and extensibility.

Key Components

Here's a breakdown of important parts:

• Kernel: The core of the OS, handles low-level tasks and resource management.
• System Library: Provides essential system functions like file I/O, memory management, and networking.
