How to Install Windows 7 on PC

If you want to install a clean Windows 7 on the computer you just bought or the computer you’re using, you first need an ISO file. After you download the ISO file to your computer, you need to prepare a setup media.

Check the minimum system requirements before starting it;

  • 32-bit / 64-bit Processor with 1 GHz or faster
  • 1 GB RAM for 32-bit / 2 GB RAM for 64-bit is sufficient.
  • 16GB HDD Space for 32-bit / 20GB HDD Space for 64-bit
  • A DirectX 9 Graphics Card with WDDM 1.0 or higher is sufficient.

How to Run Windows 7 without using a CD/DVD

With the development of technology, no new Windows CD/DVD installation media is now available in the box contents of newly sold computers. When you purchase a new computer, the Windows operating system installed on the laptop comes licensed.

If you want to install a clean Windows operating system on your new computer, you can download the ISO file from any source on the Internet and burn it to a DVD media or a Bootable Flash Memory.

Also, if you want to install this operating system on Windows 10, you must configure the installation as Dual Boot. In short, you can create a new partition on the HDD and install it on Windows 10.

Follow the steps below to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on your PC step by step.

   Step 1

First, you need to prepare the installation media. Make bootable Win7 installation media using the Rufus program, as you can see in the image below.

To do this, in the Device section, select the drive letter of the Flash Memory you inserted in your computer, and then click the CD icon button to select the ISO file that you downloaded to your computer.

You can also select the BIOS or UEFI installation type for installation in the Partition Scheme and Target System Type.

After preparing your USB installation media, plug it into your computer and restart your system. If your computer does not boot from USB, turn on your BIOS settings and configure the first device in the Boot sequence as your Flash Memory.
