Installing Windows 7 from DVD

Before Installing

A clean install is intended for users who want to freshly install Windows on their computer (by deleting all of the data on the hard disk and then installing Windows) or computers that do not have an operating system yet.

A.   Enter your computer's BIOS. Turn off the computer that you want to install Windows on then turn it back on. When the BIOS screen appears or you are prompted to do so, press Del, Esc, F2, F10, or F9 (depending on your computer’s motherboard) to enter the system BIOS. The key to enter the BIOS is usually shown on the screen.

B.   Find your BIOS's boot options menu. The boot options menu of your BIOS may vary in location or name from the illustration, but you may eventually find it if you search around. If you can't find the boot options menu, search the name of your BIOS (most likely located in the BIOS menu) online for help.

C.   Select the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device of your computer.

Although this method may vary among computers, the boot options menu is typically a menu of movable device names where you should set your CD-ROM drive as the first boot device. It can also be a list of devices that you can set the order of their boot on. Consult a manual or the internet for help if you're stuck.

D.   Save the changes of the settings. Press the button indicated on the screen or select the save option from the BIOS menu to save your configuration.

E.    Restart your computer.
