1. Insert your Windows 7 DVD and restart your computer.
2. Look for a message on the screen that asks if you want to boot from CD or DVD. When you see this on your screen press the ‘Enter’ key.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Choose the “Upgrade” option to upgrade your previous version of Windows, or “Custom Installation” to install a clean copy of Windows. We recommend you go for a fresh installation, but make sure you’ve backed up your files and have the installation CDs for your software.
Note: The upgrade option does not support Windows XP.
4. Enter the product key found on your DVD case when prompted – this is important as it allows you to activate your copy of Windows 7.
