Windows 7 itself was released to the public on October 22, 2009. Although there are newer versions of windows 8 and windows 10, windows 7 remains much enjoyed by many people.
I created this article to help my friends who do not know very well about how to install windows 7 properly and correctly.
I write this article as well as possible so you can understand each step that I explain.
Oh yes, do not forget to prepare the following things:
- Prepare DVD Windows 7 first, because we will learn how to install windows 7 from DVDROM.
-Setting the BIOS to boot from CD / DVD.
-Backup important data first
-What do you install is a laptop? If so, I suggest plug your laptop charger -only. Do not let the laptop run out of power during the installation process because it will adversely affect the laptop itself.
Setting BIOS to Boot from CD / DVD
Generally computers / laptops usually boot the first time from HDD. Therefore, you need to set it up first to boot the CD / DVD.
1. Turn on or restart your computer / laptop, then press DEL (Delete). Usually to enter the BIOS menu, the most commonly used keys are DEL, F1, F2, or Fn + F2, depending on the manufacturer of your laptop / motherboard.
2. The BIOS menu display will appear as shown below. After that, move to the Boot tab by using the button
3. You will see the following screen. As you can see in the following picture, that the device that is at the top is HDD. So your computer / laptop will boot the first time from HDD.
4. To be able to boot from CD / DVD, you need to put the CD-ROM Drive at the top. You do this by selecting CD-ROM Drive, then slide using the + / - button to the top of the list as shown below.
5. Do not forget to put DVD Windows 7 on DVDROM. Then press the F10 key to save the result settings as well as exit the BIOS menu.
Not all computers / laptops have the same BIOS type. It may be that the BIOS you are using is not the same as the one I used in this tutorial.
