Software

The final step to building your PC is installing an Operating System and other software. For this wiki I'm going to go through the installation of Windows 7, since it is the most popular OS for current systems.

Installing Windows 7
1. After purchasing your version of windows 7, make sure you hang onto the box and case as there is important information on it.

2. If you are using multiple hard drives, unplug either the data or power cable to all but the one you want Windows to install onto.



3. Insert the CD into the tray and reboot your computer. Windows will automatically begin installing.

4. Follow the on-screen installation guide and remember to create a partition for Windows to install on.



5. After Windows is finished installing, reboot your computer and log in using the information you created and you will have your brand new desktop.
