STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR INSTALLING WIN-7

Installing Windows 7

 
As with any OS installation, we must first plan the installation process.

Here are some of the most important things you should take into consideration when planning for your Windows 7 installation: 

Check System Requirements

It is required before starting the process to check whether your system is capable to install windows 7 or not.

For this Microsoft provides a tool called Windows 7 upgrade advisor which checks your system configuration and displays the results.

Download this tool from here Windows 7 Checker

Types of Installation


 There are two options available when we are installing windows 7

  1. Upgrade (In-place upgrade) – This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, and keeps your files, settings, and programs in place on your computer.
  2. Custom (“fresh” installation) – This option replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7, but doesn’t preserve your files, settings, and programs. It’s sometimes referred to as a clean installation for that reason. As always, a fresh installation is much better

Starting the Installation Process

Insert your Windows 7 DVD media into your DVD drive and reboot your computer. If you’re asked to press a key to boot from DVD or CD, press any key. A black window will appear

                 

 

Next, a Starting Windows screen will appear.

 Installation Process

        

After a few moments you will see the first prompt:

Click “Next” 

Click on the “Install now” button.




Next, unless you’re upgrading an existing Windows installation, press the Custom (Advanced) installation type button. 


Note:- that in this case, the Upgrade button is disabled because of this specific installation if performed on a new computer without any previous operating system on it.





The next phase is to pick the installation partition. Since this computer has a new hard disk that hasn’t been formatted before, you will only have the option to create a new partition on it.


If you don’t want to specify a specific partition to install Windows on or create partitions on your hard disk, click 


Next to begin the installation. If you already have another existing partition with enough free space and want to install the Windows 7 on that partition to create a multi-boot configuration, select the partition you want to use, and then click 


Next to begin the installation. 


If you want to create, extend, delete, or format a partition, click Drive options (advanced), click the option you want, and 


To install new windows 7 you need to format the previous version of windows 7. To do this select a drive where your previous operating system is installed select that drive.


Then click on DRIVE OPTIONS(ADVANCED).
then select format.




The setup process will now begin to copy files from the installation DVD media to the hard disk.




The process could take a while depending on the type of hardware your computer uses.

Click on “Next”.





Enter the user’s password. Remember this password, as it will be the ONLY user on the system, and unless you create an additional user or enable the built-in administrator account, if you forget this password you’ll need to crack it to gain access to the system. 


The best option would be to choose a complex password made of at least 7 characters or more. You must also enter a password hint.


Click on “Next”.


If you don’t want to set any password then simply click on “NEXT” 




Next, type in your product key. If you do not have the product key at hand you can still click “Next”, and proceed with the installation. You will be asked to enter the product key after Windows is installed.




Choose what sort of protection your computer gets. The recommended settings are best for someone that doesn’t plan to hide their computer behind a corporate firewall (and even then, in some cases, this would be the best option). 


If you plan to install a 3rd-party firewall later you can opt to be prompted later. 


Note:- This setting will also have an effect on how the computer uses the Microsoft Windows Update (Automatic Updates) features.

 




Choose your time zone and location and click on “Next”.




For India time zone would be((UTC+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi)
Select your network location type. 


This setting can be changed later, but do note that choosing a profile will have an effect on the Windows Firewall and sharing settings. 


Click on “Next”.

Windows will finalize the settings and your desktop will appear.




This concludes the Windows 7 installation. Next, you would probably want to update your computer with the latest hotfixes and/or patches from Microsoft.

Congratulations you have installed windows 7

Automation - Update Naukri Profile Using Selenium

Recently one of my friend came to me with a problem. He is looking out for new job but he feels quite boring to update  his profile on daily basis. As some people says updating profile in the morning gives you more calls as it keeps the newly updated profile on top (Although i don’t know whether naukri works this way or not 😀 ). As i was more interested to solve his problem.  After listening his problem i came to solution that instead of updating it manually lets make this job automatic. And it is quite interesting how we can automate our daily boring task with automation. Another day i came with the solution . And the solution was to make it automatic using selenium (Those who are not aware about selenium do check this link) In short, Selenium is a Testing automation Framework. And it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well....
