PC is the abbreviation for Personal Computer and is so named to distinguish between company computers and computers for personal use.
IBM introduced the term and perhaps the first computer in the early 1980s. It should be a computer to use at home and also to use programs there for personal use. In those days people also spoke of an IBM PC.
Initially for spreadsheets and word processors, for example. Frequently used programs at that time were Lotus 1-2-3 and WordPerfect or Wordstar.
The operating system on which the first PCs ran were from Microsoft and were then still called PC-Dos (Personal Computer Disc Operating System). That later changed in MS-DOS when MS Windows came out.
