WINDOWS INSTALLATION
As with any OS installation, you must first plan the installation process. When
you run the Windows 7 Setup program, you must provide information about how to
install and configure the operating system. Thorough planning can make your
installation of Windows 7 more efficient by helping you to avoid potential problems
during installation. An understanding of the configuration options will also help to
ensure that you have properly configured your system.

Types of Installation
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.
Installation Process
1. Boot the computer using the bootable windows installation disc from the DVD-
ROM.
2. Your first step is to choose the language, time/currency format and the keyboard
input method.
3. Accept the license agreement
4. Choose a type of installation “Upgrade or Custom(advance)”

number of basic functions such as booting and keyboard control. BIOS is also used to
identify and configure the hardware in a computer such as the hard drive, optical drive,
CPU, memory, etc.

Device Drivers
After you successfully installed the operating system, you will need to
configure the devices such as Video Cards, Network Interface Card, Sound Cards,
and so on by installing their device drivers. In many cases, the drivers will be
automatically installed if the Windows recognizes the device. In some cases, drivers
are installed so that the device will work properly.
Drivers are small software programs that help the operating system use or
“drive” the device.

Steps in Installing Drivers

Determine the Hardware Manufacturer.
1. To determine the hardware manufacturer, go to File Explorer right click on My
Computer then click Manage.
2. Under System Tools, click Device Manager. All the devices that are installed

manufacturer’s website. Branded computers are recommended to go to the
computer manufacturer’s website to check for the latest update. Also, some
computers and devices include original driver CD.

Install the Driver.

The downloaded driver file will be an executable file or a zip file.
• If the file is an executable program, run the program to extract the files. If the file
is in .zip format, you can use a third-party utility such as WinZip to extract the
files. For more information about how to extract the driver files, see the
instructions that are provided by the manufacturer of the driver.

Driver with a Setup or Installation Program

If the driver uses a setup or installation program, run the program to install the
driver. For more information about how to do this, see the documentation or
contact the driver manufacturer.
