INSTALL WINDOWS 7 OPERATING SYSTEM

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

The next step after you assemble the computer is to install the computer operating system
to make it functional.
Windows 7 is an operating system that can be installed in your computer. It was released
by Microsoft in 2009, succeeding Windows Vista. It has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that
makes it possible for you to interact with your computer’s functions on the screen using a
keyboard and mouse. Compared to previous versions of Microsoft operating systems, Windows
7 has many improvements such as better previewing on the Task Bar, easier searching for files
and media, and simple and instant sharing through Home Group. It is available in three (3)
editions namely: Windows 7 Home Premium (the standard version); Windows 7 Professional
(includes all the Home Premium features as well as additional features and typically installed on
business computers); and Windows 7 Ultimate (the most complete version which has all the
Professional features plus data protection, and additional language support).
The following are the system requirements for Windows 7:
1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 GB of RAM or 2 GB of RAM for the 64-bit version
16 GB of available hard disk space or 20 GB for the 64-bit version
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Before installing any operating system, make sure that your hardware complies with the
minimum system requirements for it. You need to check your computer’s specifications first and
back up your previous files before formatting to avoid problems that might occur in the future
such as data loss or hard drive failure.
