Sometimes IT professionals have to ensure that the hardware used for a

system is compatible with the OS and that there is no nonconformance.

Nonconformance means you are not meeting the minimum

requirements for the OS and compatible hardware that is either within

the PC or attached to it. Some older hardware is not always compatible

with the newer versions of operating systems. For example, an older

adapter from an older MacBook does not plug into newer hardware. In

this discussion, you and your peers will discuss the importance of

hardware and OS compatibilities.
