How did the February Revolution in Russia differ from the October Revolution?

The February Revolution in Russia was not an organized revolution, but the overthrow of the Tzars and the monarchy of Russia. The loyalists of the monarchy were the police and gendarmes who soon deserted and socialists and leftists took over the government. The October Revolution was when the provisional government (made up of Socialists) was overthrown by the Bolsheviks or Communists and this was done through a military community which slowly took over government buildings.
