It was built in to the computer.
Explanation: in the very early days there was no public Internet to download software, and retail software shops were not yet common. Most machines came with their operating system provided by the manufacturer or installed/loaded by the machine’s operator (sometimes in ROM or from tape/disks). Only later did buying OSes in stores or hobbyists writing their own become typical.
