Windows 7 installation guide
Windows 7 It's the Microsoft operating system, bringing much hope after the Vista lackluster performance. While many local Windows XP users have refused to think of switching to Vista, they might be inclined to try Windows 7.
I thought this was an excellent opportunity to write a number of tutorials introducing Windows 7, starting with the installation guide. Today, I'm going to show you how to install Windows 7 on your machine.
Installing Windows 7 - Step by step
Preparations
Backup
You may be installing Windows 7 on a machine that already has an operating system installed. In that case, you will have to consider what to do with existing data on the disk.
You may want to completely wipe the existing data and start clean. Or you may want to incorporate Windows 7 into the existing setup, whether as a side-by-side installation or an upgrade.Whatever you choose, please make sure your files are safely backed up, so that you do not accidentally, irrecoverably overwrite critical data during the installation.
Installation key
Please make sure you have the Windows 7 installation key available. Without it, you will not be able to install the operating system.
Drivers for the computer hardware
Having the drivers available will make sure that after you have installed Windows 7, your system will perform to its fullest. If you meet the above three requirements, we are ready to go.
Boot from Windows 7 DVD
The first step is to place your Windows 7 DVD into the DVD tray and boot the machine. Your computer needs to be configured to boot from DVD. This is done via BIOS. On most computers, the BIOS menu can be accessed by pressing either the F2 or Del keys while the machine is booting.
Once you have completed this stage, Windows 7 will start loading. If you see the below image, you're doing well so far.
After a few moments, you will reach the installation menu. Your first step is to choose the language and the keyboard.
You will be now taken to the Install now menu. We have already prepared for the installation, so you can click Install now and proceed.
