How do you install Windows 7? -

I was given the activation key by Microsoft and am downloading it in my laptop. Well, not exactly my laptop but the external hard drive. Assume I end up having the total download (along with the activation key I already have). Now, ho do I install it? Do I make an ISO DVD? Could I install it from the external hard drive? What exaclty is an ISO and with which burning program you get to make one?

I downloaded the same thing and am using windows 7 right now. Its great i wish i had more ram to take advantage of it though. What I did was used DAEMON tools to mount the ISO (the file you are downloading) and then just ran it that way so I didn t have to burn it. But I think I should burn it now just so i have a copy on the side if i ever need it. what daemon tools does it makes a ghost drive and mounting the image makes the computer think you have that CD in the drive. if you don t have daemon tools you can download it here http://forum.daemon-tools.cc/download.ph...

An ISO is a image of a CD or DVD. So you use a program like Nero or Roxio to burn the image onto a DVD, and then you install it like normal.
