STEPS TO INSTALL WINDOWS-
1. Windows, is a multifamily of graphical operating developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft. It consists of
several families of operating systems, each of which cater to a certain sector of the computing industry with the
OS typically associated with IBM PC compatible architecture. Microsoft introduced an operating environment
named Windows on November 20, 1985, as a graphical operating system shell for MS-DOS in response to the
growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal
computer (PC) market with over 90% market share, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced in 1984.
2. Installation Process of Windows Operating System.
3. Enter your computer's BIOS. Turnoff the computer that you want to install Windows on then turn it back on.
When the BIOS screen appears or you are prompted to do so, press Del, Esc, F2, F10, or F9 (depending on your
computer’s motherboard) to enter the system BIOS. The key to enter the BIOS is usually shown on the screen.
4. Find your BIOS's boot options menu. The boot options menu of your BIOS may vary in location or name from
the illustration, but you may eventually find it if you search around.
5. If you can't find the boot options menu, search the name of your BIOS (most likely located in the BIOS menu)
online for help.
6. Select the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device of your computer.
7. Although this method may vary among computers, the boot options menu is typically a menu of movable
device names where you should set your CD-ROM drive as the first boot device. It can also be a list of devices
that you can set the order of their boot on. Consult a manual or the internet for help if you're stuck.
8. Save the changes of the settings. Press the button indicated on the screen or select the save option from the
BIOS menu to save your configuration.
9. Shut off your computer. Either turn off the computer by choosing the shut-down option in your current
operating system,or hold the power button until the computer powers off.
10. Power on the PC and the insert the Windows 7 disc into your CD/DVD drive.
11. Start your computer from the disc. After you have placed the disc into the disc drive, start your computer. When
the computer starts, press a key if you are asked if you would like to boot from the disc by pressing any key.
After you choose to start from the disc, Windows Setup will begin loading.
a. If you are not asked to boot from the disc, you may have done something wrong. Retry the previous steps to
solve the problem.
12. Choose your Windows Setup options. Once Windows Setup loads, you'll be presented with a window. Select
your preferred language, keyboard type, and time/currency format, then click Next.
13. Click the Install Now button.
14. Accept the License Terms. Read over the Microsoft Software License Terms, check I accept the license terms,
and click Next.
15. Select the Custom installation.
16. Decide on which hard drive and partition you want to install Windows on. A hard drive is a physical part of
your computer that stores data, and partitions "divide" hard drives into separate parts.
a. If the hard drive has data on it, delete the data off of it, or format it.
i. Select the hard drive from the list of hard drives.
ii. Click Drive options (advanced).
iii. Click Format from Drive options.
b. If your computer doesn't have any partitions yet, create one to install Windows on it.
i. Select the hard drive from the list of hard drives.
ii. Click Drive options (advanced).
iii. Select New from Drive options.
iv. Select the size, and click OK.
17. Install Windows on your preferred hard drive and partition. Once you've decided on where to install Windows,
select it and click Next. Windows will begin installing.
STEPS TO INSTALL LINUX-
1. Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software
development and distribution. The defining component of Linux is the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel
first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The Free Software Foundation uses the name
GNU/Linux to describe the operating system, which has led to some controversy.
2. Linux was originally developed for personal computers based on the Intel x86 architecture, but has since been
ported to more platforms than any other operating system.[ Because of the dominance of the Linux kernel-based
Android OS on smartphones, Linux has the largest installed base of all general-purpose operating
[Link] is also the leading operating system on servers and other big iron systems such as mainframe
computers, and is used on 99.6% of the TOP500supercomputers.
3. Installation Process of Linux Operating System
4. Download the Ubuntu ISO file. You can get the ISO file from the Ubuntu website. An ISO file is a CD image
file that will need to be burned before you can use it. There are two options available from the Ubuntu
website(you can also buy official Ubuntu CDs, which come in packs of 10):
5. 16.04 LTS has continuous updates and provides technical support. It is scheduled to be supported until April
2021. This option will give you the most compatibility with your existing hardware.
6. Ubuntu builds (not yet released) 16.10, 17.04, and 17.10 will come with limited support. They will have the
newest features, though they may not work with all hardware. These releases are geared more towards
experienced Linux users.
7. If you have a Windows 8 or 10 PC or a PC with UEFI firmware, download the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Most
older machines should download the 32-bit version.
8. Burn the ISO [Link] up your burning program of choice. There are free and paid programs available that can
burn an ISO to a CD or DVD.
9. Windows 7, 8, 10, and Mac OS X can all burn ISO files to a disc without having to download a separate
program.
10. Boot from the disc. Once you have finished burning the disc, restart your computer and choose to boot from the
disc. You may have to change your boot preferences by hitting the Setup key while your computer is restarting.
This is typically F12, F2, or Del.
11. Try Ubuntu before installing. Once you boot from the disc, you will be given the option to try Ubuntu without
installing it. The operating system will run from the disc, and you will have a chance to explore the layout of the
operating system.
12. Open the Examples folder to see how Ubuntu handles files and exploring the operating system.
13. Once you are done exploring, open the Install file on the desktop.
14. Install Ubuntu. Your computer will need at least 4.5 GB of free [Link] will want more than this if you want
to install programs and create [Link] you are installing on a laptop, make sure that it is connected to a power
source, as installing can drain the battery faster than normal.
15. Check the “Download updates automatically” box, as well as the “Install this third-party software” box. The
third-party software will allow you to play MP3 files as well as watch Flash video (such as YouTube).
16. Set up the wireless connection. If your computer is not connected to the internet via Ethernet, you can configure
your wireless connection in the next step.
17. If you didn’t have an internet connection in the previous step, hit the Back button after setting up the wireless
connection so that you can enable automatic updates.
18. Choose what to do with your existing operating system. If you have Windows installed on your system, you will
be given a couple options on how you’d like to install Ubuntu. You can either install it alongside your previous
Windows installation, or you can replace your Windows installation with Ubuntu.
19. If you install it alongside your old version of Windows, you will be given the option to choose your operating
system each time you reboot your computer. Your Windows files and programs will remain untouched.
20. If you replace your installation of Windows with Ubuntu all of your Windows files, documents, and programs
will be deleted.
21. Set your partition size. If you are installing Ubuntu alongside Windows, you can use the slider to adjust how
much space you would like to designate for [Link] that Ubuntu will take up about 4.5 GB when it
is installed, so be sure to leave some extra space for programs and files. Once you are satisfied with your
settings, click Install Now.
22. Choose your location. If you are connected to the internet, this should be done automatically. Verify that the
timezone displayed is correct, and then click the Continue button.
23. Set your keyboard layout. You can choose from a list of options, or click the Detect Keyboard Layout button to
have Ubuntu automatically pick the correct option.
24. Enter your login information. Enter your name, the name of the computer (which will be displayed on the
network), choose a username, and come up with a password. You can choose to have Ubuntu automatically log
you in, or require your user name and password when it starts.
25. Wait for the installation process to complete. Once you choose your login info, the installation will begin.
During setup, various tips for using Ubuntu will be displayed on the screen. Once it is finished, you will be
prompted to restart the computer and Ubuntu will load.
