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
    • if possible, a DVD with the specific drivers of the machine

Basic installation steps

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