I put together my PC and everything is running pretty smoothly. It loads up to the motherboard screen on my monitor. Do I have to do anything before I install the operating system, or can I go ahead and install it?
In BIOS set the dvd drive as the first boot device
You may also want to head through BIOS with the manual in hand making some set up choices . If you dont know what it does then leave it on the default setting which is usually AUTO
Open the dvd drive , put the disk in , restart using the power button
disconnect all storage devices except for DVD and SSD
put in windows disk
boot from DVD drive/widnows disk
windows will ask you which drive to install on
select the SSD
I installed it and went to do Windows updates, but after it installs them and restarts, it loads the Windows logo then goes to a black screen with a mouse. Anyone know anything about this?
