Each hardware component interacts with the operating system through a vendor-supplied device driver. Device drivers are specialized software that allow the operating system to communicate with specific hardware components, such as a graphics card or a network adapter. The device driver acts as a translator between the hardware and the operating system, enabling the hardware to function properly within the computer system.
