you to continue the lesson on the installation of OS, you are going to explore Microsoft
Windows 7 installation.

Task: Give the minimum hardware requirements of Microsoft Windows XP. Write your answer
on a separate sheet of paper.

 What’s New

I have this activity for you.

Task: Give the mystery letters to complete the word associated with the computer. Write your
answer on a separate sheet of paper.

7. P?ocesso? 8. S?reen? onitor
9. Ctrl ?Alt +?el 10. Bo?tableU?B

What is It

A user-friendly OS is Microsoft Windows 7due to its requirement in hardware and fast data
processing. Microsoft users still use the said OS although Microsoft company brought out
Windows 10 OS to the market as an upgrade and announced that there is no longer an
available update for Windows 7. However, there are still more users utilizing the said OS. In
using the OS, you must consider the hardware specification requirement before the installation
of the software, or else the installation will fail. The OS requirement is written on the cover of
the installation disc or seen in the manual. Let us see the system requirements below.

Microsoft Windows 7
Component Specification
CPU 1 GHz or faster for 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor;
Memory 1 GB of RAM for 32-bit systems while 2 GB for 64-bit systems
Hard drive 16 GB available hard disk drive space for 32-bit systems while 20 GB
for 64-bit
Graphics minimum 1024 × 768 screen resolution
DVD drive Internal or external

Exceeding the minimum hardware requirements enhances the performance of the computer.
In installing OS, you can use a bootable Windows installation DVD or flash drive. Technicians
always do clean installation of OS which removes all the content of the hard drive. It is also
the same as fresh installation. However, you can upgrade the existing OS by choosing the
Upgrade during the installation process. Now that you know already the hardware
requirements and the type of installation, are you ready to install the Windows operating
system?

6
Fantastic, let us begin.

Windows 7 Installation
Below are the steps in installing the Windows 7 operating system.

1. Turn on your computer system.

2. Set the boot order of the computer.

If you are using a DVD bootable disc, set the first boot to DVD; if you are using a bootable
USB, set the first boot to USB.

3. Insert the Windows 7 disc into the CD/DVD-ROM drive or connect the bootable USB flash
drive with Windows 7 to the USB port.

4. Restart the system.

To restart the system, press the reset button on the front panel of the system case or press
Ctrl + Alt + Del on the keyboard.

5. Press any key to boot from CD or USB

After the power-on self-test (POST) is initiated, it recognizes the first boot and loads the
content of the boot device. See the message “Press any key to boot CD/DVD or Press any
key to boot USB” then do so to go to windows installation setup. It looks like the illustration
below.

What if you missed to press any key? It will reboot or it will load the existing operating
system.

In this process, the operating system loads the file from the bootable device which is either a
USB drive or DVD disc then it starts up the installation.
