Type of Installation
There are two options available when we are installing windows 7
- 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.
- Custom ("fresh" installation) - This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, but doesnt preserve your files, settings, and programs. Its sometimes referred to as a clean installation for that reason.As always, a fresh installation is much better
Beginning the Installation Process
Insert your Windows 7 DVD media into your DVD drive and reboot your computer. If youre asked to press a key to boot from DVD or CD, press any key. A black window will appear
Next, a Starting Windows screen will appear.
The Installation Process
After a few moments you will see the first prompt:
Click "Next"
Click on the "Install now" button.
Next, unless youre upgrading an existing Windows installation, press the Custom (Advanced) installation type button. Note that in this case, the Upgrade button is disabled because this specific installation if performed on a new computer without any previous operating system on it.
The next phase is to pick the installation partition. Since this computer has a new hard disk that hasnt been formatted before, you will only have the option to create a new partition on it.
If you dont want to specify a specific partition to install Windows on, or create partitions on your hard disk, click Next to begin the installation. If you already have another existing partition with enough free space and want to install the Windows 7 on that partition to create a multiboot configuration, select the partition you want to use, and then click Next to begin the installation. If you want to create, extend, delete, or format a partition, click Drive options (advanced), click the option you want, and
To install new windows 7 you need to format previous version of windows 7.To do this select a drive where your previous operating system is installed select that drive .Then click on DRIVE OPTIONS(ADVANCED).
then select format .

Process could take a while depending on the type of hardware your computer uses.
Click on "Next".
Enter the users password. Remember this password, as it will be the ONLY user on the system, and unless you create an additional user or enable the built-in administrator account, if you forget this password youll need to crack it to gain access to the system. The best option would be to choose a complex password made of at least 7 characters or more . You must also enter a password hint.
Click on "Next".
If you dont want to set any password then simply click on "NEXT"
Next, type in your product key. If you do not have the product key at hand you can still click "Next", and proceed with the installation. You will be asked to enter the product key after Windows is installed.
Choose what sort of protection your computer gets. The recommended settings are best for someone that doesnt plan to hide their computer behind a corporate firewall (and even then, in some cases, this would be the best option). If you plan to install a 3rd-party firewall later you can opt to be prompted later. Note that this setting will also have effect on how the computer uses the Microsoft Windows Update (Automatic Updates) features.
Choose your time zone and location and click on "Next".
For india time zone would be((UTC+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi)
Select your network location type. This setting can be changed later, but do note that choosing a profile will have effect on the Windows Firewall and sharing settings. Click on "Next".
Windows will finalize the settings and your desktop will appear.
