Windows 7 for Starters: How to Install Windows 7

This is the very first video in the "Windows 7 for Starters" video series.  And as the title above says, we are going to cover How to Install Windows 7.  Now first and foremost, I completely understand that if you are new to Windows 7; more than likely, you'll not be installing it by yourself.  However, what better way to kick off a new series, than to at least show you how to get in onto your computer in the first place?

As mentioned in an earlier post, this series was designed with the new Windows 7 user in mind.  As with our other videos, I am using Oracle's VirtualBox to install the operating system and set it up.  The process will be the same if you are installing on a physical computer.

Enjoy!

Maybe you are coming from an older Windows XP computer and are sort of taken back by the look and feel of Windows 7. Or maybe you only use the computer for simple tasks and are curious about some of the other features built into your Operating System that you never knew were there. Or maybe you just want to learn new ways to get certain tasks accomplished in a quicker or easier way.

If any of the above situations describe you, than feel free to jump right in. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to drop me a line either here on the blog or over on our YouTube channel; and I will do my best to help!
