Regardless of the type of installation, you must first download the Win8 system image. Users can directly click on the download link below to enter the Win8 download home page. 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 (40+).

Installing Win8's second method —— original CD installation Win8 method
If you can't install upgrade installation in Win7 or XP, or only one new computer, then you can only use the most The original CD was installed with 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!

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.
Writing at the end
If you are a stable user, it is recommended not to use Win8 on your own computer. Because Win8 is still in the developer preview, it is 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.
If you are a software enthusiast who is pursuing new technology, hurry and download Win8 to play.
