3. REQUIRED ELEMENTS

To proceed with the installation we have to have the following:

4.2 After you have accessed our BIOS will see a screen very similar to the following:

Among the options that appear look for First Boot Device (first boot drive) and choose CD / DVD drive to your computer boot from our DVD of Windows 7.

After this press the ESC key to exit and F10 to exit and save the appropriate changes. When asked whether to save the changes choose Yes (Y) and the computer restarts.

4.4 Just accept our DVD will introduce Windows 7 in the DVD reader and wait for it to recognize it.

4.5 We will see a text saying: "Press any key to boot from the CD or DVD" and just have to press any key.

4.6 Then we will see a progress bar showing the loading of Windows 7 files needed for installation:

4.7 Following screen appears Starting Windows (Starting Windows):

4.12 Then perhaps get the most complicated part of this process where more than one usually has problems, but not as complicated as it seems.

Here we see the partitions that are available, depending on each one. For example, they typically have at least 2 partitions pre-established. A reference to our primary partition (drive C) and the other to our secondary partition (partition D).

If this is our case for proceeding with the installation we stand in our Unit C and between the options we have we give click Format (recommended if installed on the C drive, but you can choose any disk or partition to install Windows 7 ).

When we already have the partition formatted, we focus on the drive where we will install Windows 7 and click Next.

4.13 In the next screen you will see that Windows 7 is installed on our PC and can only hope to receive some other indication by the wizard, as this part of the process is automatic.

4.14 Once finished copying files, installing features and updates will move to the next screen that will request a user name for the principal and a name for the system. Logically these data is personal and each one chooses that it sees fit.
