Instructions
Step 1
It is recommended to install the licensed version of the operating system, because it is a guarantee of good performance and constant and stable updates. Despite its high cost, Windows will work better than its cheap pirated counterpart. The license version already comes with a key, and the activation of the operating system takes place over the phone, absolutely free.

After restarting your computer, follow the prompts in the System Setup Wizard. Certain files will be copied from the CD to the hard drive. The installation wizard will ask you to format the partition. You can format the partition, or install the system on a partition that contains an operating system.

After that, you need to enter the name of the computer and the name of the organization, as well as indicate your time zone, focusing on the cities that will be shown in the prompts.
After all these actions, the system reboots.
