@@STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR INSTALLING WIN-7@@

Installing Windows 7


As with any OS installation, we must first plan the installation process.
Here are some of the most important things you should take into consideration when planning for your Windows 7 installation: 

Check System Requirements

It is required before starting the process to check whether your system is capable to install windows 7 or not.

For this Microsoft provides a tool called windows 7 upgrade advisor which checks your system configuration and display the results.

 Download this tool from here Windows 7 Checker

                                Types of Installation                                          


 There are two options available when we are installing windows 7


  1. Upgrade (In-place upgrade) - This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, and keeps your files, settings, and programs in place on your computer.
  2. Custom ("fresh" installation) - This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, but doesn't preserve your files, settings, and programs. It's sometimes referred to as a clean installation for that reason.As always, a fresh installation is much better

                        Staring the Installation Process                           

Insert your Windows 7 DVD media into your DVD drive and reboot your computer. If you're asked to press a key to boot from DVD or CD, press any key. A black window will appear
                 
 




Next, a Starting Windows screen will appear.




                           Installation Process                                         

                                                 
        

After a few moments you will see the first prompt:

Click "Next" 

Click on the "Install now" button.



 Next, unless you're upgrading an existing Windows installation, press the Custom (Advanced) installation type button. 

 Note:- that in this case, the Upgrade button is disabled because this specific installation if performed on a new computer without any previous operating system on it.

The next phase is to pick the installation partition. Since this computer has a new hard disk that hasn't been formatted before, you will only have the option to create a new partition on it.

 If you don't want to specify a specific partition to install Windows on, or create partitions on your hard disk, click 

 Next to begin the installation. If you already have another existing partition with enough free space and want to install the Windows 7 on that partition to create a multi boot configuration, select the partition you want to use, and then click 

 Next to begin the installation. 

 If you want to create, extend, delete, or format a partition, click Drive options (advanced), click the option you want, and 

 To install new windows 7 you need to format previous version of windows 7.To do this select a drive where your previous operating system is installed select that drive .

 Then click on DRIVE OPTIONS(ADVANCED).
then select format .



 The setup process will now begin to copy files from the installation DVD media to the hard disk.



 Process could take a while depending on the type of hardware your computer uses.

Click on "Next".

Enter the user's password. Remember this password, as it will be the ONLY user on the system, and unless you create an additional user or enable the built-in administrator account, if you forget this password you'll need to crack it to gain access to the system. 

 The best option would be to choose a complex password made of at least 7 characters or more . You must also enter a password hint.

 Click on "Next".

 If you don't want to set any password then simply click on "NEXT" 



Next, type in your product key. If you do not have the product key at hand you can still click "Next", and proceed with the installation. You will be asked to enter the product key after Windows is installed.



 Choose what sort of protection your computer gets. The recommended settings are best for someone that doesn't plan to hide their computer behind a corporate firewall (and even then, in some cases, this would be the best option). 

 If you plan to install a 3rd-party firewall later you can opt to be prompted later. 

 Note:- This setting will also have effect on how the computer uses the Microsoft Windows Update (Automatic Updates) features.




 Choose your time zone and location and click on "Next".



 For India time zone would be((UTC+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi)
Select your network location type. 

 This setting can be changed later, but do note that choosing a profile will have effect on the Windows Firewall and sharing settings. 

 Click on "Next".



Windows will finalize the settings and your desktop will appear.



 This concludes the Windows 7 installation. Next, you would probably want to update your computer with the latest hotfixes and/or patches from Microsoft.
Congratulations you have installed windows 7

Choosing the Best CPU for Your Gaming Computer

Picking the latest, fastest or most expensive processor on the market won’t always result in the right CPU for your particular system. Some processors are designed to work with certain motherboards, so the CPU you choose will limit the type of motherboard you can get. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is one of the most important components in any computer system. The CPU could be described as the brains of a computer. It contains the logic circuitry that performs the instructions of the software you run. The performance of your games and other applications will be directly related to this tiny little microprocessor. The Major Players: Intel and AMD Two companies dominate the CPU market, Intel and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). Both companies make a range of different processor models.  For example, Intel have the Core i7 and Core i5 processor models, while AMD have the Athlon and Phenom series.  The Best CPU for Gaming If you’re a basic computer user and you don’t
