 Installing Windows 7 on your computer can be frustrating and expensive. However, this guide will show you step by step on how to get a FULL retail version of Windows 7 and install it on your computer. Please be aware that by upgrading and installing a new operating system on your computer, you will lose all data on your computer. Back up all important files.First off, let's make sure that you're computer is capable of running Windows 7. Here is a list of minimum requirements.

Windows 7 System Requirements:

Now that you know if your computer is capable of running Windows 7 it's time to gather the things we need. I've created a list to make it easy for you guys.

Things You Will Need:
-You will need a blank DVD+R or DVD+RW.
-A flash drive to store drivers.
-Internet access possibly local connection.
-An extra computer (if possible).
-A re-writable disc drive.
-Active@ Iso burner which you can get it by clicking here.

Now that we have everything we need we can now start installing Windows 7 on our computer. Please make sure that all the files you have downloaded are located on the desktop.

Step 1: If you have followed the instruction up till now, you should have the Windows 7 Iso image and the Active@ Iso burner which we'll be using to burn the iso image into the blank DVD CD. Install Active@ Iso burner if you haven't. Open Active@ iso, and grab the Windows 7 Iso image onto the Active@ iso browser bar and click "Burn".

Step 2: Now that you have the Windows 7 installation CD it's time to transfer the files you downloaded into the flash drive. Once you have done that insert the installation DVD and turn off the computer. Move on to the next step.

Step 3: If your computer goes to installation mode when you turn it on skip this step. Since some computer are not set to start up the disk drive before the hardrive which  causes the computer to ignore the installation CD. We will have to set it up ourselves. Turn your computer on go into the BIOS settings by pressing F12 or F2. Find the boot up section and change the boot up order. Move the disk drive in place of the first one.

Step 4: Now restart your computer, you will be prompt with a message that says "Press any key to boot from CD", go ahead and do so. Windows will load all the necessary files and start the installation process. Select your language, time zone, accept agreement etc, but STOP once you get to the hardrive selection prompt.

Step 5: We will need to wipe our hardrive in order to install the operating system. Select your hardrive, and click "drive options". Delete the current partition and create a new one. After creating a new partition format it and click next.

Step 6: The installation will now begin and it will take about 30 to 40 minutes to finish. Once the installation has finished you will need to activate your operating system. There are two ways of doing it. One is to buy a product key and two is to use Windows Loader which is as effective as a genuine product key. To buy a genuine product key from us for $10 which is 19 times cheaper Click Here. We will e-mail you the product key within 24 hours. Please make sure you provide an e-mail address in the check-out form. If you decide to go with the second method you will need Windows Loader, Click Here to download it.

Step 7: If you bought a genuine product key from us and provided an email address, you can skip this step. Unzip and open Windows Loader. Click uninstall. Restart your computer. Open Windows Loader and click install. Restart your computer.

Step 8: Now it's time to install the computer drivers. Drag the driver detector you downloaded previously to the desktop. Open it, and it will give you a list of the missing drivers. You will need to go to your computer's brand website, go to the support section. Select your computer model and download the needed drivers. If you have any questions leave a comment

Trouble Shooting: 
My Bios is locked with a password: Some computers have locked BIOS. A way to remove/wipe the password is to remove the CMOS battery for 2 minutes or more. Remove your laptop's battery and AC power adapter, unscrew some screws. Remove the CMOS battery for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes put everything back in place and turn your computer back on.

Windows 7 not activated: If your computer cannot be activated with Windows Loader we strongly recommend to buy a genuine product key from us. We offer a 95% discount on product keys, Click Here to buy one.

Installation stuck on 32%: The installation does not take more than 40 minutes at most. If your computer is stuck at 32% and it's been more than 40 minutes you will need to shut down your computer, clean the installation CD, and repeat step 5.

No Wifi/Internet connection: Don't panic it's completely normal that none of your drivers may work after fresh new installation of an operating system. You need to install your computer drivers. Go back to step 8.
