 Select your language, time and currency format and keyboard input (US)


 Click Install Now to proceed

Setup will load for a min or two



If you do, select I accept the license terms and click Next



If you are upgrading from Windows Vista select Upgrade, if you had Windows XP you have to select Custom (Advanced). Upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 is not available. Click Custom (Advanced)
