Software are the programs (code) that make a computer do things (such as games, word processing, etc.)
Hardware is the actual, physical computer.

Hardware is what makes your computer run: ie: motherboards, processors, hard drives, memory, video card, sound card, ect.
Software is what makes the computer work/fun related: ie: computer games, windows, office, internet explorer
