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.[/b] [b] Here are some of the most important things you should take into consideration when planning for your Windows 7 installation:[/b] [b] Check System Requirements Check Hardware and Software Compatibility Determine Disk Partitioning Options Complete a Pre-Installation Checklist[/b] [b] [color=#ff00ff]Microsoft states the minimum recommended specs for Windows 7:[/color][/b] [b] 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor 1 GB of system memory 16 GB of available disk space Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme) DVD-R/W Drive Internet access (to activate and get updates)[/b] [b] [color=#ff00ff]32-bit or 64-bit Version?[/color][/b] [b] You need to decide whether to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7. The Windows 7 installation disc package includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Basically, the 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. So if you plan on using Windows 7 on a computer with more than 3 GB or RAM, I would strongly suggest to use the 64-bit version. Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows, and if they don’t, you can always use Windows XP Mode.[/b] [b] [color=#ff0000]Note:[/color] Either way, you cannot use an existing 32-bit version of a previous OS to perform an in-place upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows 7, and you’ll need to format and install a fresh copy. Also, you cannot use an existing 64-bit version of a previous OS to perform an in-place upgrade to a 32-bit version of Windows 7. Type of Installation[/b] [b] [color=#ff00ff]Basically, there are 2 approaches to installing Windows 7:[/color][/b] [b] 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 doesn’t preserve your files, settings, and programs. It’s sometimes referred to as a clean installation for that reason.[/b] [b] As always, a fresh installation is much better and I strongly recommend taking that track. Even if you’ve got an existing Windows XP/Vista OS on your computer, I would strongly recommend that you format it and install a fresh copy of the OS.[/b] [b]Check Complete Tutorial ---> [url=http://badricreatives.in/home/how-to-install-windows-7-step-by-step-tutorial-easy-method/] [size=5][color=#FF0000]HERE[/color][/size] [/b][/url]
