As you may know, Microsoft Windows 7 is the latest release of the Microsoft
operating system. Just like Windows XP, the installation process for Windows 7
is very similar. If you are looking for a way on how to install Windows 7 on
your PC or laptop then this article is just for you. To get yourself started
all you need is a PC or laptop with an optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and the
Windows 7 installation disk. Before you start though please ensure that your
computer has system specs high enough to install Windows 7. If not, you should
consider an upgrade.
Okay, so to get started you need to let your computer know that we want to
boot from the CD-ROM drive. In order to do this, boot up your computer and tap
the F2 key until the BIOS screen appears. Once you are there, go to the boot device
option and select the CD-ROM drive for booting. Once you are done, save the
changes, exit and restart the computer. Up on restart you should see a message
that says "Press any key to boot from CD ROM..." If you don't see
this message then it's most likely that you have forgotten to insert the
Windows 7 disk into the drive. When you see the message, press any key and you
will be brought to the Windows 7 installation screen. If you have installed
Windows XP before you will notice that the installation process is much better
looking and quicker on Windows 7.
Now, you will need to accept the Microsoft terms and conditions before
install begins. Once you do this, you will have to choose where you would like
to install Windows 7. The drive Windows is normally installed on is drive C:
using the NTFS file system but this varies from computer to computer. If you
have any previous operating systems installed on this drive then Windows 7 will
overwrite this installation. With the Windows 7 installation you can also
choose whether you would like to backup the old operating system for future use
which is very handy if you have a lot of data on there.
Once you've selected the place to install, Windows 7 will begin the process
of copying the necessary system files and settings over to the computer. From
here, all you need to do is setup system locale for the likes of keyboard
layout along with network settings (if any). Unlike Windows XP, you shouldn't
have to install any drivers with a Windows 7 installation. Windows will do this
automatically through the internet during the installation process, so really,
the Windows 7 installation couldn't get any easier.
