Windows 7 Installation

[alexfromarchitecture]

Hello,

I considering buying a new computer without windows 7 already installed ( I have the install disc).

This computer would be shipped completely assembled and was wondering how difficult it is installling a new OS without any OS already installed

Thanks!

It's very simple. You just need to have a full copy of windows if there is no previous version installed.

To install windows, boot into the BIOS, and make the DVD drive the first boot device. Getting into the BIOS is usually done by tapping the delete key on startup. Once the DVD drive is set as first boot device, save the changes and exit.

The PC will restart, and you should see a message to 'press any key,' do so at that time. The PC will then start loading off the disc. Follow the instructions, and it's a fairly simple process.

If you need further help, just let us know.

Its even easier than winXp. Basically, its set it and forget it.
You start up the installer, set a few options at start, and twenty minutes later set your username, and youre finished.
