====== Installing Windows 7 Pro ======

<note tip>If you have a brand new PC with a pre-installed Win 7, you may want to [[other:clonezilla|create a disk image]] of the PC before the installation, just in case things go wrong and you have to start over.

Making a disk image is also useful if you don't have a Win 7 installation DVD, and the drivers of the machine</note>


====== Prerequisites ======

  * A machine with a pre-installed Win 7 that has never been booted
  * ... or a Win 7 installation DVD, a licence number
    * if possible, a DVD with the specific drivers of the machine

====== Basic installation steps ======

Switch on the machine! If the machine did not have a pre-installed Windows 7, make sure that there is Windows 7 DVD in the the reader.

  - Choose //France// (or whatever is most appropriate) for the different localization settings. Warning, it will not be possible to change the language after that
  - User name: your LSCE login\\ Computer name: <login>-Dell or <login>-HP (or anything)
  - Password: anything you can remember
  - License agreement: accept it...
  - Security setting: only install important updates
  - Time zone, etc...: choose the appropriate settings
  - Wait, wait, wait (the computer may reboot)
  - Done!!!

====== Changing the partitions ======

Use [[other:gparted|gparted]] to change the default partitions of the disk

====== Getting a network address ======

  * Determine the MAC address of the PC
    * Start Menu -> "type 'cmd' then press Enter in the Search field"
    * Type "getmac" in the Command Prompt window and write down the MAC address
    * Type "exit" to close the Command Prompt window
  * Ask the LSCE sysadmins to add the MAC address to the DHCP, and get a static IP address for the PC

====== Dell Digital Delivery ======

The first time a new Dell computer is put on the network, it will start the Dell Digital Delivery program. Accept the options and download the extra software (Download "My Dell - Help, Support and Updates" but you probably don't need "Dell Data Protection Security Tools").

====== Installing the drivers ======

If the machine did not have a pre-installed Windows 7, you will have to install additional Dell or HP (or whatever) drivers...

====== Updating Windows ======

===== Configuring the update =====


Control panel => 

===== Manually starting the update =====

====== Removing some pre-installed applications ======

Some machines with a pre-installed Windows system, may have some pre-installed applications that need to be uninstalled:

  * MacAfee: this antivirus must be removed before the installation of Symantec Endpoint Protection
  * DEMO version of Microsoft Office: remove this before installing Office 2010 supplied by CEA
  * ...

====== Getting the LSCE standard Win 7 installation ======

Ask the LSCE sysadmins to make the standard installation

  * Giving the machine its final name (''LSCEnnnn'', where nnnn are the last 4 digits of the static IP address)
  * Configuration of the local LSCE time server
  * Kerberos configuration
  * Symantec Endpoint Protection
  * OCS inventory
  * FortiClient
  * cygwin/X
  * LSCE printers
  * Winzip or 7zip
