The Windows 7 operating system is the most common operating system use in our computer. It said that Windows 7 is a user friendly like the windows experience or xp. To install this operating system you must know first that your hardware is compatible with this operating system. Preferably dual-core or higher both Intel and AMD processor. With a higher storage of Hard Disk Drive preferably 320, 500 gigabytes or highest capacity and main memory size of 2 gigabytes or Higher. Less capacity of what I mention might be the computer will perform normal, but you need to prepare the computer as highest capacity or maximum hardware capacity rather than the computer will encounter error during the installation. That probably will cause permanent damage of your internal hardwares and of your hard disk drive. This is considered also that not only the operating system you wanted to install but including the program you need including the games.
To run the installation, you need Microsoft Windows 7 operating system installer CD or higher version, either License or not by the Microsoft. But the license operating system is you can assure your system is normally good during the installation including the updates after the installation.
