Overview: 

Windows 7 is the latest release of the Windows series of operating systems by Microsoft. It can be used on a range of personal computers like desktops, laptops, and notebooks. 

This guide will help you to perform a custom installation or clean installation, which means installing a new Windows 7 operating system on a computer.

Clean Installation Instructions:

Select the language that you want to use during the installation process.

Next, click the Install Now button to initiate the installation. The Setup transfers some temporary files from the DVD to your computer. The Please read the license terms page appears. Select the I accept the license terms check box.

Select the Custom (advanced) install option.

Select the hard disk drive or partition on which you want to install Windows 7.

Setup copies the program files to your system.

Toward the end of the installation process, your system restarts several times, and then Setup updates the registry settings. Next, Windows prompts you to perform some post-installation tasks, like selecting the user name and the computer name.

Set the system password for your user account and enter a hint for the password.

Type the activation key.

Set the date and time.

Select the appropriate network settings and create a group depending on the type of Network you have chosen.
