Installing Windows 7 Pro
If you have a brand new PC with a pre-installed Win 7, you may want to
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
Prerequisites
A machine with a pre-installed Win 7 that has never been booted
… or a Win 7 installation DVD, a licence number
Basic installation steps
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!!!
