Microsoft Windows 7 PCs are definitely the big in thing at the moment when it comes to computers. But what is all the boasting about?

The advantages of the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system are very broad. For example, you have desktop gadgets (currency convertor, calculator, games etc), easier and quicker network access, quicker file access, you can create and easily share own made videos and much more. It’s because of these things that everyone is now taking advantage of the Windows 7 operating system.

If you are a gamer, then the Windows 7 PC is for you. The processing capabilities will really blow you away! Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself!

As you may know, Microsoft Windows 7 is the latest release of the Microsoft operating system. Just like Windows XP, the installation process for Windows 7 is very similar. If you are looking for a way on how to install Windows 7 on your PC or laptop then this article is just for you. To get yourself started all you need is a PC or laptop with an optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and the Windows 7 installation disk. Before you start though please ensure that your computer has system specs high enough to install Windows 7. If not, you should consider an upgrade.
Okay, so to get started you need to let your computer know that we want to boot from the CD-ROM drive. In order to do this, boot up your computer and tap the F2 key until the BIOS screen appears. Once you are there, go to the boot device option and select the CD-ROM drive for booting. Once you are done, save the changes, exit and restart the computer. Up on restart you should see a message that says “Press any key to boot from CD ROM…” If you don’t see this message then it’s most likely that you have forgotten to insert the Windows 7 disk into the drive. When you see the message, press any key and you will be brought to the Windows 7 installation screen. If you have installed Windows XP before you will notice that the installation process is much better looking and quicker on Windows 7.
Now, you will need to accept the Microsoft terms and conditions before install begins. Once you do this, you will have to choose where you would like to install Windows 7. The drive Windows is normally installed on is drive C:\ using the NTFS file system but this varies from computer to computer. If you have any previous operating systems installed on this drive then Windows 7 will overwrite this installation. With the Windows 7 installation you can also choose whether you would like to backup the old operating system for future use which is very handy if you have a lot of data on there.
Once you’ve selected the place to install, Windows 7 will begin the process of copying the necessary system files and settings over to the computer. From here, all you need to do is setup system locale for the likes of keyboard layout along with network settings (if any). Unlike Windows XP, you shouldn’t have to install any drivers with a Windows 7 installation. Windows will do this automatically through the internet during the installation process, so really, the Windows 7 installation couldn’t get any easier.
