How to Install Windows 7
This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to install Windows 7 Ultimate. The
guide is similar for other Windows 7 editions, such as Home Premium.
Step 1 - Start your computer after
inserting the Windows 7 DVD into the
DVD drive. Windows 7 will begin to
boot up, and you will see the progress
bar shown below.

Step 2 - The following screen lets

you configure your language, time and
currency format, keyboard, and input
method.
To proceed, select your required
settings and click Next.

2
Step 3 - The following screen lets
you install or repair Windows 7. We'll
click "install now" because we're
doing a fresh install.

Step 4 - Read the license terms and

check the box that says I accept the
license terms. Then click the next
button to proceed.

Step 5 - You will now be given two

options. Upgrade versus Custom
(Advanced). We'll go with Custom
because we're doing a fresh install
(Advanced).

Step 6 - Determine where you want

Windows 7 to be installed. If you
only have one hard drive, you will
see an option similar to the one
shown below. You can proceed by
clicking the next button. If you have
more than one drive or partition,
select the appropriate drive and then
click next. If you need to format or
partition a drive, select Drive options (advance) before proceeding.

Step 7 - As shown in the image,
Windows 7 begins the installation
process by copying all necessary
files to your hard drive.

Step 8 - It will go through the setup

stages and reboot your system a few
times.

Step 9 - When your computer

reboots, it tries to boot from the DVD
as the first boot device. If you do not
press any keys during the boot
prompt, Windows 7 will continue the
installation by booting from the hard
drive.

Step 10 - After the reboot, your computer will be ready for use for the first time .

4
Step 11 - At this point, you must
select a user name and a computer
name.To proceed, click the next
button. The user account you create
here is the Administrator account,
which is the primary account in
Windows 7 and has full privileges.

Step 12 - Choose a password and a

password hint in case you forget your
password and need to refresh your
memory.

Step 13 - You can now enter the

product key that came with Windows
7 and press the Next button. You can
still proceed to the next stage if you
do not enter the product key.
Windows 7 will, however, run in trial
mode for 30 days. As a result, you
must activate Windows within 30
days or you will be unable to access your computer after that time.

Step 14 - Automatically protect

your computer and improve
Windows.
Choose Make use of the
recommended settings.

5
Step 15 - Examine your date and time
settings. Choose your time zone, enter the
correct date and time, and then click Next to
proceed.

Step 16 - Choose the current location of

your computer. If you are a home user,
select Home network; otherwise, choose
the appropriate option.

Step 17 - Windows will now complete

the configuration of your computer and
restart it.

Step 18 - Following the final restart,

Windows 7 will begin to boot up.

6
Step 19 - Finally, there is the log on screen. To
log on to Windows 7 for the first time, simply type
your password and press enter or click on the
arrow.

Step 20 - When you first boot up Windows 7, you

will see a desktop similar to the one shown below.
You are now ready to use your computer.

Tips for PC Components Handling

Whenever the casing of a computer is opened and its internal
workings are exposed, there is danger of damaging the computer with the
buildup of static electricity that is held by the human body.
The internal workings of a computer, and especially the hard drive,
are extremely susceptible to static electricity, which can cause considerable
damage to the hard drive it is zapped with even a small amount. Microchip
damage can occur if it is exposed to static electricity as low as 10 volts, and
humans are not able to perceive static electricity until it has reached about
1,500 volts.
Walking across a rug can produce a static electricity voltage of up to
12,000 volts, but static voltage is not life threatening. So it is possible to
damage a hard drive with static electricity that is not even felt by a person
because it is at such a low voltage. Also, computers become increasingly
susceptible to static electricity damage as more circuitry is built into it.
To avoid zapping
your computer with
static electricity, take
precautions to ground
the static electricity
before touching the
internal parts of the
computer:
 For most
people,
touching a
grounded objects before beginning will be just fine. Then
proceed with the installation in an anti-static environment.

10
  To prevent any static electricity from damaging the computer,
wear an ESD wrist wrap and work on an anti-static mat.
 By touching the metal frames of the computer’s case while the
computer is plugged into an electrical socket is another way to
ground the
static
electricity.
 To be safe side,
make sure not

electricity by
handling the
motherboard,
video card, modem, sound card, and other components to any
insulated and non-circuitry areas on each component.
Here are three key points of handling components safety:
1. Be sure to draw off any static electricity that may
be built up on your hands before you touch a
sensitive part. You can do this by touching the
metal PC case before touching the components.
2. Touch the parts where they’re the least sensitive
to being harmed by ESD. Pick up mainboards by the edges. Pick up
PCI cards by the metal part that attaches them to the back of the
case and then handles them by the edges
3. Always plan where you’ll set a component
before removing it from its electrostatic
protection pouch. For example, after
removing a RAM chip, you probably want to
be near the mainboard, so that you can
place the chip in the mainboard immediately

11
 You can push them into their
sockets from the top. Always
prepare your work area in
advance. For example, have your
mainboard out and ready before
removing the RAM chips from
their packaging.

Summary
A computer is a system that is composed of different components These
components can be assembled even if they are made by different
manufacturers. It is also possible to have a custom-built computer
according to specific needs.
