Firmware Vs Software

Software is the stuff that you, as the user, put into your computer in order to do things like word processing, or internet browsing. You can add and delete software essentially whenever you want. Firmware is the stuff that manufacturers put into the sub-parts of the computer, simply to give each piece the instructions that it needs to run. For example, there is firmware in your hard drive that says "Spin" or "Read" or "Record". It is built in, and you don't have the ability to override it (although the manufacturer could if it had a problem and needed an update).

Software is a program that enables a computer to perform a specific task and firmware is also a software but for hardware devices to perform specific task. Firmware is also knows as driver.
