Download Win8 and Win8 system requirements
Regardless of the installation method, you must first download the Win8 system image. Users can directly click on the download link below to enter Win8 download. Here, I recommend downloading 2.8G Windows 8 Developer Preview English (32-bit) first.
Before installing Win8, first understand the system requirements of Windows 8:
Windows 8 Developer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7 (Win8 system requirements are the same as Win7 and Vista)< Br># 1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor (1G clock or higher CPU)
# 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) (Minimum requirement 1G memory, 2G or more recommended)
# 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) (system disk is above 16G)
# DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver (Direct 9 or higher graphics card)
# Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch (If you want to use the touch function, you need to support the touch screen)
Install Win8 A method —— install directly in Win7!
Installing Win8 directly in Win7 is the easiest way. In a word, use the decompression tool (fast press, WinRAR, etc.) to extract the Win8 iso image file to a non-system disk (C drive), and then double-click "Setup".
In order to let everyone know the whole process of Win8 installation, the picture will be a bit more.
Figure 1 After double-clicking "Setup", you will see this pop-up window
Figure 2 shows the preparation
Figure 3 Ask if you need to install the latest patch online ( Select No Thanks)
Figure 4 Preparing …… Slightly
Figure 5 Check if your computer can install Win8
Figure 6 Check if Win8 key is available (This is a keyless activation-free version)
I don't know who proposed it first. Every time you install the software, you must first agree to the N agreement proposed by the other party.
Figure 7 Installation protocol is ubiquitous
Before installing Win8, do you still need to do something

Click Install, it is the whole process of Win8 system replication, after reboot, it will enter the real Win8 installation The link is over.
Note: From Figure 11 to Figure 29, the two methods for installing Win8 are the same. Therefore, the latter method —— use the CD or U disk to reload, not much to say.

If you can not install the upgrade installation in Win7 or XP, or only a new computer, then you can only use the original CD to install the Win8 method.
The first step is to burn the Win8 iOS image to a CD or write to a USB flash drive. Choose one of the two methods, which will not be described in detail here.
The second step is to put the CD into the CD-ROM drive (or insert the U disk), and set the CD-ROM (U disk) in the BIOS to start the first boot sequence. OK, everything is ready, only owe the wind. This shareholder style is restarted!

Use the most primitive method To install Win7, the first step is to have a new hard disk partition (the hard disk has a partition can jump to Figure 39)
Figure 36 The new machine does not have any partition (the hard disk of the existing partition, please look directly Figure 39)
Figure 37 Partition the hard disk (if it is a new hard disk, it is best to partition first)
Figure 38 Partition completes a 350M reserved partition

Start the file copy process, after copying, open and then see Figure 11-29 is OK.
Figure 40 Ok, start the file copy phase
below the installation process, please see Figure 11 to Figure 29.
In the process of installing Win8, it is inevitable that there will be any accidents, such as a blue screen window, for example, the card can not move in a certain part, for example, the trouble that no one else has encountered. Anyway, no matter how unsatisfactory, let's calm down and see what step is wrong and then think about it.
Win8's blue screen is not all code that N people can't understand
Written in the end
If you are a stable user, it is recommended not to be free on your own computer. Use Win8, because Win8 is still in the developer preview, not in the Beta stage. Colleagues excited to install Win8 directly, the result is because Win8 often has problems, so there is Win7 installed on the basis of Win8, playing dual system.
