Windows 7 installation

The first step is to place your Windows 7 DVD into the DVD tray and boot the
machine. Your computer needs to be configured to boot from DVD. This is
done via BIOS. On most computers, the BIOS menu can be accessed by
pressing either the F2 or Del keys while the machine is booting.

Once you have completed this stage, Windows 7 will start loading. If you
see the below image, you're doing well so far.

After a few moments, you will reach the installation menu. Your first step
is to choose the language and the keyboard.

You will be now taken to the Install now menu. We have already
prepared for the installation, so you can click Install now and proceed.

The next step is to accept the license agreement.

After this, you will have to decide whether you want to Upgrade an
existing installation or perform a Custom (advanced) installation, which is
basically creating a new copy of Windows.

The next step is to choose where you want to install Windows 7. This is
probably the most important part of the entire installation, so you need
to be very careful here and make the right choices.

Windows 7 will be installed to your partition. Depending on your hardware,
this can take some time.
During the installation, your computer may restart several times. Let it be.

Eventually, you will be asked to provide your username and a computer
name.

You will also have to password-protect your account. This is most
advisable. You should opt for a strong password.

The next step is to activate your Windows. Grab your key and type it
here.

You will be asked to configure your updates. You can choose either
setting you like. However, I recommend you configure this choice later,
after Windows 7 is installed and running properly.

Your location will determine the firewall settings for your newly installed
Windows 7. You have three choices: home, work or public network. Home and
work networks are supposed to be trusted, so you should not experience any
problems adding other machines to your group or sharing data with them.
However, the public network is meant to be untrusted. So if you have installed
Windows 7 in, let's say, Internet cafe, then you should choose the third option.

Congratulations, you have just successfully installed Windows 7.
