Software and hardware work hand in hand. The software must be loaded into the computer first and then the hardware starts to function. The hardware is the physical parts of your computer that make it functional. The software is the instructions you use to operate the hardware. Unless your hardware is defective, it will not function properly. You may be able to replace the hardware but you will not be able to install new software.
The hardware in your computer is the actual physical equipment that allows you to use it. You cannot physically touch the hardware, so it is not called hardware. The software is in the form of code that is programmed into the hardware system. The software is used to perform specific tasks and programs. Both types of software work with the same computer and can be installed by the same user. Both types of software require the same basic functionality, so the differences are not all that great.
Final Touch
Hardware is a physical device that allows you to interact with a computer. Software is software that gives instructions to the hardware and depends on it to function. Neither can function without the other. Both are necessary for the operation of a computer. While hardware failure is random, software failure is usually due to systematic error or major-minor version errors. However, some software can be upgraded by a developer and add features without affecting the previous version.
