Practical -10

Aim: Observe the procedure for installing Operating System like win7/win8 with partition
formatting.

Turn your computer on then press Del or Enter (depend on your computer’s mainboard) to enter
the system BIOS.

Go to Boot menu and choose Boot From CD/DVD.


Press F10 to save the configuration and exit BIOS then reset your computer. Go to Boot menu
and choose Boot From CD/DVD.

Insert Windows 7 DVD into your DVD drive then start up your computer, Windows 7 will be
loading files.
Press any key to boot from CD or DVD... message similar to the one shown in the screenshot
above. If you're booting from a flash drive, the message may be phrased differently, like Press
any key to boot from external device....
Press a key to force the computer to boot from the Windows 7 DVD or USB storage device. If
you do not press a key, your PC will attempt to boot to the next device in the boot order, which is
probably your hard drive. If this happens, chances are your current operating system will boot.

You don't need to do anything at this point but wait for Windows 7 to finishing loading files in
preparation for the setup process
After the Windows 7 install files are loaded into memory, you'll see the Windows 7 splash
screen, indicating that the setup process is about to begin.

Select these parts: Language to Install, Time and currency format, Keyboard or input method.
Then click Next.
Click on the Install now button in the center of the screen, under the Windows 7 logo.This will
officially begin the Windows 7 clean install process.

The Windows 7 setup process is now beginning.No need to press any keys here.

Choose Install Now if you want to install Windows 7. Choose the Windows 7 version that you
want to install in 'Select the operating system you want to install' . Here we choose Windows 7
Ultimate then click next (depending on your Windows DVD, this step is an option).
Click 'I accept the license terms' in 'Please read the license' then click Next.

Choose 'Upgrade' in 'Which type of installation do you want' if you want to upgrade from an
older Windows version to Windows 7, 'Custom (advance)' if you want to install a new version of
Windows.
Choose Partition for installation, if your computer has only one hard disk, it will be easy for
selection, but if it has some Partition, you will have to consider which Partition to choose.
In this screen, you'll see each partition that Windows 7 recognizes. The main difference in a
Windows 7 clean install verses other kinds of Windows 7 installation methods is that a clean
install involves the removal of all operating system related partitions.

Windows 7 setup considers partition management as an advanced task so you'll need to click the
Drive options (advanced) link to make those options available.

In the next few steps you'll delete the partitions containing the operating system you're replacing
with Windows 7, be it Windows Vista, Windows XP, a previous installation of Windows 7, etc.

Now that all available drive options are listed, you can delete any operating system related
partitions from your existing hard drive(s).
After deleting the partition, Windows 7 setup will prompt you to confirm the deletion.The
message says "The partition might contain recovery files, system files, or important software
from your computer manufacturer. If you delete this partition, any data stored on it will be lost."

Click the OK button.


If there are any other partitions that need to be deleted, you can do so at this time.

Highlight the partition and click the Delete link.

As you can now see, all the space on the installed hard drive is unallocated. No partitions exist
on this computer. If you're installing Windows 7 on a computer with a single hard drive on
which you've just deleted all the partitions from, your screen should look like the one above,
aside from your hard drive being a different size.

Choose the appropriate unallocated space to install Windows 7 on and then click Next.
Wait for Installing Windows to progress. Your computer might be restarted during the process
.

Type you’re a user account and computer name. After click Next.
Type a password for your account, you can also Type a password hint to help in case of
forgetting the password in the future, and then click Next.

Type in activation code or key for your license in Product key box if you have any. Click Next.
Choose how to protect your Windows. Here we choose Use recommended settings.

Set up your Time zone then click Next.


Choose an option from 3 choices: Public Network, Work Network, Home Network. Choose
Home Network for using Internet at home.

Finally system ready to use.
