Boomers: analogue phones and rolodexes. The nerdy ones knew Morse Code, though.
Gen X: grew up with picture books on assembly language programming
Millennials: know how to use Microsoft Word and Photoshop. Perhaps can unfuck Windows Registry keys if needed.
GenZ: “What’s a file?”
Really depends early GenZ was born in the late 90s/early 00s, and I can Attest that there's quite a few who're pretty good with computers. Mostly depends on what you got in touch with at home.

Or, more to the point, the generational blocks don't really matter much for this, but there's certainly a declining aclemation with basic OS concepts.
I thought that late 90s was still millenial? Probably wrong.
I think the cut off between Z and millennial I see most often is 97. I was born in 98 and I feel like I'm in both generations at the same time
