INSTALLING WINDOWS 7

Step 1

Check your specs. In order to run Windows 7 you must have at least
a 1 gigahertz (GHz) processor, 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (2 if
installing 64-bit), 16 GB of hard disk space (20 if installing 64-bit),
and a DirectX 9 graphics card with WDDM 1.0. [1] Different
programs will have different system requirements.
 Step 2
Backup your data. If you are
upgrading from another OS, you
will lose all of your files and
programs. The programs can’t be
backed up; they will need to be
reinstalled. Any files—including
documents, music, pictures, and
videos—that you want to save
need to be copied to a backup
location.
 Step 3
Set your BIOS to boot from CD. To
do this, restart the computer and
enter the setup screen

when the manufacturer logo

appears. The key to do this will be
displayed, and varies by
manufacturer. The most common
keys are F2, F10, F12, and Del.
Once in the BIOS menu, select the Boot menu. Change the order of
devices so that your computer boots from CD before booting from
the hard drive. Save your changes and exit. If you are installing from
a flash drive, then you will need to set the BIOS to boot from
removable storage.
Step 4
Begin Setup. If the CD has been inserted and the BIOS is set correctly,
you will see a message telling you to “Press any to boot from CD…”
Press a key on the keyboard and the setup process for Windows 7 will
launch.
 Step 5
Watch the Windows files load. After completion, the Windows 7 logo
will appear. No files have been altered on your computer yet. Your
data will be deleted in later steps.
 Step 6
Choose your preferences. You will be prompted to confirm your
Language, Time & Currency format, and Keyboard or input method.
Select the appropriate options for you and click Next
 Step 7
Click Install Now. Do not click repair computer, even if you are
repairing a computer by reinstalling Windows. Once clicked, Setup
will begin loading the files it needs to continue.
Step 8
Read and accept the terms. In order to advance, you must indicate
that you have read and agree to Microsoft’s terms of use. Be sure to
read through it so that you know your rights and limitations as a user
 Step 9
Choose Custom install. This will
allow you to perform a clean
installation. Even if you are
upgrading a previous version of
Windows, it is highly
recommended that you perform a
clean install. Performing an
Upgrade will often lead to devices
and programs not operating
efficiently and effectively.
 Step 10
Delete the partition. A window will open
asking where you would like to install
Windows. In order to perform a clean
install, you need to delete the old partition
and start with a clean slate. Click “Drive
options (advanced).” This will give you the
ability to delete and create partitions.
Select the partition of your existing
operating system and click the Delete
button. If you are installing an operating
system for the first time on this hard drive,
then there will be no partitions to delete.
 Step 11
Select the Unallocated Space and click Next. There is no need to
create a partition before you install Windows 7, this is done
automatically.
