How to reinstall Windows 7. A detailed description of reinstalling Windows 7 from start to finish.
To reinstall Windows 7 for dummies we will need:
- Download Windows 7
- Burn Windows 7 to a disk or flash drive with Windows 7
- Set to bios First Boot Device - Cd-Rom or USB
- Install Windows 7
Step No. 1 Reinstalling Windows 7. Burning a Windows 7 disc
So, let's say you bought a laptop with Windows 7 or just want to try it out and then buy it. First, you need to download Windows image 7. Look carefully at which Windows 7 you need to download so that the key located on the laptop will work. Usually the key is located either on the laptop or under it. For example, like this: Windows 7 basic OEM 32-bit(x86). Search the Internet for Windows 7 basic OEM 32-bit so that your key will fit! Since the distribution of Windows is illegal, we do not have the right to post original iso images with Windows 7 here. (Or - (Google search for MD5))
After downloading the Windows 7 ISO image, you need to burn it to disk.
To do this, download the program for burning our image to disk Portable ImgBurn
After the Windows 7 ISO image and our ImgBurn program are successfully downloaded:
- Take a blank DVD +-R | RW and insert into DVD rom
- ImgBurn -> click Browse-> choose our Windows ISO image, press Open
- Set the minimum speed and start recording
- After the disc is burned, a window will pop up indicating that the disc was successfully burned, click OK. And your DVD rom will automatically open with Windows 7 written on it
Step No. 2 Reinstall Windows 7. Set First boot device CD-Rom in BIOS
So, after Step No. 1, we have a disk with Windows 7. At this stage, our task is to get into the BIOS and set it to initially boot the disk with installed Windows 7. To do this: Reboot or turn on the computer and press the delete key (there are other options, for example F1, F2, F8, Ins.)
The initial splash screen should usually show you which key to press to enter the BIOS
As a result, we must get to blue screen BIOS, in our case it looks like this
We set the first download from Disk, for this we go (with the usual arrows) to Advanced Bios Features -> First Boot Device select CD-Rom, press Enter, then Esc, go to Save&Exit Setup Press Enter, then Y and Enter again.
Note: if you have a different BIOS, the essence does not change. The main thing is to find First Boot Device and select CD-Rom
After step 2, the computer reboots itself and if you did everything correctly, then when you reboot, the message Boot from Cd/Dvd will appear on a black background:
And after a while Press any key to boot from Cd..
(press any key on the keyboard to boot from the disk), press the key. If a black screen appears with a Windows 7 installation bar, then at this stage you have done everything correctly
Step No. 3 Reinstall Windows 7. Formatting the partition. Installing Windows 7
After the window popped up. We wait 5-7 minutes until the language selection window appears. Select the language settings as you wish, then click Next
Click “Install”
We wait 5-7 minutes, after which a window will pop up, check the box with “License Terms”, click Next
Select " Full installation»
Select our disk, then click “Disk Setup”
Select an item "Format"
Attention! (warning about deleting data from drive C. Everything will remain on D):
This action will delete all your files from this section, disk C:/
After "Copy" appears Windows files“We can safely go and drink coffee, since no action will be required from us for 10-20 minutes
We wait until a window appears where we will be asked to enter a username. Then enter the name
Password (we don’t have to enter it, just click next)
Enter the product key (if you want to enter it later, you can click “Next”)
We choose one of three update points if desired! We recommend the first one!
All that remains is to select the time zone, which is what we do.
We wait 2 minutes, then a magic window with Windows 7 appears. Congratulations, Windows 7 has been successfully installed!
There are quite a few ways to install Windows on a computer: you can use an optical disk, a flash drive, or a system update. But there is another method that is convenient and common among experienced users - installing Windows from an ISO image unpacked on the hard drive.
Therefore, if you do not have bootable media, there is no need to be upset - you can install Windows without a flash drive or disk. This will be even faster and more convenient:
- You don't have to decide how to configure the BIOS. Setting boot priority, Boot, Advanced and other unknown words - you can temporarily forget about them.
- There is no need to look for an installation disk or create bootable media to install Windows 7 from a USB flash drive.
These two advantages are more than enough to make you think about how to install Windows from a hard drive.
You will definitely need a pre-downloaded system distribution in the form of an ISO image.It would also be useful to have at least a little experience installing Windows from a disk or flash drive, so that you don’t have to explain all the stages of this process from the very beginning.
What will you need besides the distribution?
Before we start looking at how to install Windows without a disk or flash drive, let's figure out what programs you may need to correctly complete this simple procedure:
Preparing the hard drive
The first thing you need to do is create a new one hard section disk onto which you will then install the new operating system.
You can do this using the built-in Windows tools:
The Partition Creation Wizard will quickly guide you through all stages of this procedure, prompting you to specify the letter of the new partition. You can leave the default letter “F” - there is no difference. As a result, you should have a new partition that will be visible through “My Computer”. 
System setup
Run Daemon Tools and specify the path to the Windows ISO image in the program. Mount the image and copy all the files inside it to the free partition you just created. The copying will take about 10 minutes, so you'll have to wait a bit. 
Click the "Add Entry" button to complete the system setup process and add another entry to the boot menu.
Using the “View Settings” section, you can see how the bootloader menu will look taking into account the changes made.
As you can see, “Seven”, which you added from the ISO image, is loaded first, and then the operating system already existing on the computer. If you have any problems with the boot menu, you can edit it by opening the “Edit Boot Menu” tab. 
Here you can use the “Up” and “Down” keys to change the loading order, specify new names for items, and also remove them from the menu. After making the necessary changes, do not forget to click the “Save Settings” button to apply the new system configuration.
Installation and actions after installation
After the computer restarts, a window will appear asking you to select the operating system to start. 
Specify the system that you added from the ISO image using the EasyBCD program and press Enter.
Next, the standard Windows installation will begin, selecting a language, copying files, and configuring settings. The only difference from installing from a disk or flash drive is that installation will take much less time (about 10 minutes, maybe a little more).
After installation is complete, the boot menu will already include three items. You can get rid of unnecessary entries using the same EasyBCD utility. True, you will have to boot through the system in which it is installed (in in this example it was Vista).
- Launch EasyBCD and go to the “Edit Boot Menu” section.
Highlight the bootloader entry that you no longer need and click the Delete button. 
If you no longer need the first system, you can delete it so as not to load your computer extra files. First remove the entry about it from the boot menu, and then format the partition and merge it with the file volume.
Alternative methods
The method described above is the most popular and used, however, there are other methods that allow you to install Windows without a disk or flash drive. Let's focus on two not-so-complicated installation options in order to have more freedom when choosing a method.
Using the Command Line
If you want to perform a clean installation, immediately deleting the partition with the old one operating system, use the Windows command line functions:
IN command line you need to enter two commands: the first allows you to select the partition you will work with, and the second runs the setup.exe file.
This will start the standard Windows installation, which you should be familiar with. During installation, you can work with the partitions that are on the hard drive: resize them, merge them, or re-partition them.
BOOTICE utility
Download the BOOTICE utility onto your computer and move it to the root of the partition where you unpacked Windows distribution. You should get a picture like this: 
Immediately rename the "bootmgr" file to "grldr". You can choose any other name - the main thing is that its length does not exceed 5 letters. 
This is one of the requirements of the boot manager, without which it is not possible to change the entry.
It is important that only one hard drive is connected to the computer, otherwise when creating boot entry errors may appear.
Now you can proceed directly to changing the boot record:
After completing all the steps described, when you restart the computer, it will not be the old operating system that will be launched, but the boot manager, through which you can start installing Windows from an image on your hard drive.
If you switched to this page, then you have decided to reinstall Windows 7 and you need help with the installation. Below I will tell you in detail all the stages, starting with Windows boot on your computer and ending with Windows Activation and a short introductory video. And so let's get started. The first thing you need to do is download the Windows 7 image itself; there are two types: 32x and 64bit. How to understand what bit depth you need, very simply in the computer properties there is information about your hardware, we are interested in the RAM line ( installed memory). If you have 4 GB or more installed, you need a 64-bit version, everything below is 32-bit.
When we have already decided on the bit depth, we move on to downloading Windows image 7. Click on the green button “Download Windows 7 Ultimate” and a torrent file called ru_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86.iso.torrent will be downloaded to your computer. We launch it to proceed to downloading via torrent program. If the file asks you to open it through any program, then uTorrent is not installed. follow the link to download it.
While Windows is in the process of downloading, we will download and install Ultra program ISO. Using it, we will write the image to a disk or flash drive.
After installing UltraISO and loading Windows, let's start recording to a disk or flash drive. Launch UltraISO and perform the actions as in the screenshot:
Open the image with the program and perform recording.
We wait for the process to complete and close the program window. Now your flash drive or disk is ready to start outside the system.
Well, now the most interesting thing is, we need to tell the computer to start from our media; for this we need to call the BOOT MENU. Usually these are the DEL or F8 keys, but there are exceptions, it all depends on the manufacturer of your motherboard– below are the buttons from which you can call the BUTMENU from various motherboards.
If you did everything correctly, you will see a type of menu with a boot selection, control using the arrows and the ENTER key.
After selecting the BOOTMENU, it will begin copying the “loading in Windows file” files to start installing Windows 7. In the first installation window, you must select a language and click Next.
In the next window, click Install.
Selecting the installation type, click “Full installation (advanced options)
And here is the most important window, selecting the partition on which the installation will be performed. For correct installation you must format the system C drive where your old Windows is located. Ideally, it is better to delete it and also the partition where the MBR is stored; it usually weighs 100 MB. To do this, select the section and click Delete. “Unallocated disk space” will appear. Click “Create”, specify the disk size or leave it unchanged and click “Apply”
Now it’s a matter of time, as soon as you click Next, copying files to install Windows 7 will begin. You can remove the flash drive or disk after the first reboot and watch the installation process until the Select user name window appears. Enter any desired name and click Next.
In the Windows product key entry window, uncheck the “Automatically activate Windows when you connect to the Internet” checkbox and click Next.
That’s the whole simple installation process, a familiar desktop will appear in front of you - which means that Windows 7 Ultimate is installed.
Another important and mandatory process is Windows activation. On the desktop, find a shortcut called “Activator”, launch it and do everything as shown below in the screenshots.
When using a computer for a long time, any user sooner or later becomes puzzled by the fact that the system is cluttered, residual files do not want to be deleted voluntarily, and the laptop boots up at the speed of a wounded snail. Also, some viruses, although treatable at first glance, still leave their tiny traces. Subsequently, it grows exponentially and affects the entire system completely. Therefore, the user begins to ask the pressing question: “How to reinstall Windows 7?”
Of course, to solve these problems, you can use the services of plugins or start using a new antivirus, but such a solution will be temporary, and in a few weeks the situation will not only repeat itself, but will also worsen. In addition, sometimes the computer simply leaves no choice, threateningly greeting you with a “blue screen of death” with farewell instructions.
Reinstalling the operating system in a specialized salon costs a lot, so today we will save a couple of thousand and learn how to reinstall the OS ourselves. But before you reinstall Windows 7, there are several steps you should take.
Preparing and saving data
How to properly reinstall Windows 7? In order to protect yourself from losing important files after reinstalling the system, it is worth spending a little time and saving on a flash drive or disk those documents that may be needed in the future.
For example, not everyone wants to lose their achieved results in their favorite game. You just need to find and save one small file, which is located in the AppData folder of the user. If a folder with this name is not displayed, you need to go to “Computer” - “Local Disk” - “Users” - “your name” and there click on “Arrange”, then select folder and search options in the drop-down menu.
And put a marker on “Show hidden folders and files."
How to save favorites and links from the browser
- For browser Mozilla Firefox you will need to go to “Local Disk” - “Users” - “User Name” - “Favorites” and save the entire folder.
- To save data Google Chrome go to “Local Drive” - “Users” - “User Name” - “AppData” - “Local” - “Google” - “Chrome” and save the User Data folder.
- For Internet Explorer Just save the “Favorites” folder located in “Local Disk” - “Users” - “User Name”.
- When working with Opera, we go to the well-known path to the AppData folder and then Opera, you only need to save the bookmarks.adr file.
Saving torrent files
To save torrent files, go to AppData, find the uTorrent folder there and copy it completely. After reinstalling the system, the saved folder must be placed in the same location. This also applies to saved games and bookmarks in browsers.
When all the necessary data, photographs and other necessities have been successfully saved, we begin reinstalling the OS to the beat of the drums.
How to properly reinstall Windows 7
If you have a disk with an operating system, then insert it into the drive, after which the automatic reinstallation of the OS should begin, although in 60% of cases this does not happen. What to do in such a situation to understand how to reinstall Windows 7? “BIOS” is a mystical word, upon hearing which many begin to get nervous. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the BIOS if you don’t touch anything unnecessary (and even in this case, all parameters can be restored). In order to get to your destination, you need:
- restart the computer;
- Press the del key 2-3 times until the Windows splash screen appears. If the transition to the BIOS does not occur, simply repeat the procedure again.
So, if everything is done correctly, the following image should appear before your eyes:
Next, find First Boot Device and set the value to CD-ROM. This means that when your computer starts, it will automatically load data from the disk first. After installing the software, it is very important not to forget to return everything as it was, or the computer will continue to install the system forever (if you also forgot to remove the disk).
Press f10 to save changes. If all conditions have been met, the system will begin reinstalling.
The next window prompts us to select the language, date and set the time. We set some simple parameters, and feel free to click “next”, “install” and accept the license agreement.
Installation type
- Upgrade - suitable only if the system is reinstalled for minor reasons. If the decision was made in connection with the “screen of death” or the computer was clearly malware, definitely choose the full installation.
- Full installation (custom) - reinstalls the OS literally from clean slate, mercilessly destroying everything that could harm her.
Disk configuration
Here you have to choose which disk will appear as local, i.e. the one on which the software will be installed.
Logically speaking, the volume of the system disk should be within 35 GB, but not less. It is worth considering that many of us like to save files using the “throw it on the desktop for now so as not to forget” principle. All documents, pictures, etc. that are located on the desktop are stored on system disk, as well as files from the Downloads folder. Thus, when calculating the volume local disk you should be more generous.
Click “Next” and go have a snack, we have at least 45 minutes. During installation, the computer will reboot several times, which will kindly warn you. You shouldn’t interfere with him in this, unless unforeseen situations occur in the process, after 45-50 minutes new Windows 7 will be installed successfully.
The next step is the username and computer name. If at some point you need to change these settings, this can be done simply: “Start” - right-click on “Computer” - “Properties”. We find “Computer name, domain name and settings working group" and then click "Change settings".
It is not necessary to set a password, so you can skip this step by clicking “Next”.
You will also need to enter your product key. You can find it on the bottom of the laptop or on a special sticker on system unit(if you purchased the equipment along with a licensed disk).
If the software was installed from another disk, then the key should be indicated on the box. Well, if the system was installed illegally, you can skip this point and forget about this issue for about a month. After 30 days beautiful picture the desktop will be replaced by a black screen, and some functions and devices may be disabled. If this doesn’t bother you, then you can safely work with the system further or be puzzled by searching for a suitable key on the Internet.
When choosing the type of update installation, it is best to use the recommended settings. If the system is not automatically updated, then sooner or later minor problems may arise in working with the most frequently used programs. The update eliminates minor bugs and optimizes the operation of the OS.
How to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk or from a flash drive
Sometimes it happens that there is no disk with Windows, or the CD-ROM is blind and categorically refuses to cooperate. Don't despair, there are no hopeless situations. There are several ways to install the system using other media. For example, you can reinstall Windows 7 from a flash drive.
Reinstalling the system using a flash drive
First, download the OS image to your computer. After this, install the Ultra Iso program or you can use Daemon Tools, the algorithm is approximately the same.
Next, take a flash drive or memory card, but it’s worth noting right away that the BIOS will not see any of the drives installed via the USB-3 connector, so be careful and use USB-2. Externally, the connectors do not differ; in some devices, USB-3 is marked in blue. If there is no identification mark, then everything is simple. We find in any search engine information about the characteristics of a laptop or computer, and then - information about which side the connectors we need are installed on.
In order to prepare a flash drive for further work, it needs to be formatted, even if there is nothing on it. Next we perform the following steps:
- In UltraIso, open the Windows 7 image that we have already downloaded (“File” - “Open” - select the program image).
- Find “Self-upload” in the top menu and select “Burn hard disk image.”
- In the window that opens, indicate the formatted flash drive.
- We confirm the check, and set the recording method to USB-HDD+.
- Click “Record”.
- We agree with the fact that all files will be erased from the flash drive (even though we formatted it, we still set it to “Yes”).
- Voila! If we see “Recording complete”, then the job is done and you can start reinstalling.
- We go to the BIOS in the known way described above, and in First Boot Device we select the recorded flash drive.
Reinstalling Windows 7 using an image recorded on a DVD disc
Another method will tell you how to reinstall Windows 7 via CD-ROM without a license disc.
Why DVD? Everything is elementary, a regular CD will not work for one simple reason - there is not enough space, and the OS image “weighs” about 3 GB.
If for these purposes you decide to use a DVD that already has something on it, then, as in the situation with a flash drive, you need to resort to formatting.
Now we open the already known UltraIso program, go to “File” - “Open” and find the downloaded Windows image.
Next, go to the “Tools” menu and click “Burn CD image”, in the window that appears, check the “Check” box, humbly accept the fact that everything on the disk will be destroyed and click “Burn”.
That's all, after the message “Recording complete” appears, our disk is ready. We think everyone has already guessed what to do next. That's right: go to the BIOS and select the recorded disk as First Boot Device.
How to go back from Windows 7 to XP
Sometimes it is difficult for users to master a new system, so for some it is easier to reinstall Windows 7 on XP. The installation procedure is not much different from that described earlier, with the exception of a few points:
- After proceeding to the installation, the system prompts you to select which partition (that is, which disk) the OS will be installed on. In order to completely destroy a previously installed Windows 7, you need to select the appropriate partition. After this, there will be 4 formatting options to choose from, the only correct one of which is “Format partition in NTFS system" After this, the computer usually restarts and begins installing the system.
- If there is a strong desire to install two operating systems on one computer or laptop at once, then, on the contrary, select the partition that is not occupied system files. This is usually drive D.
Reinstalling Windows 8 to 7
Despite the fact that the majority of users positively assessed the seventh version of the software from Microsoft, the “eight” received rather contradictory responses. Because newest version is fundamentally different from all previous ones, sometimes there is a desire to replace the OS.
In order to reinstall Windows 8 to 7, you will need to go into the BIOS and set the primary priority to the CD-ROM (how to do this was described earlier).
After that, save the changes and proceed to boot from disk or other media. Installation type when changing Windows 8 to 7 can only be “New installation”, since the OS is different, there is no need to talk about any updates.
It is also necessary to delete all partitions, including hidden ones. After that, no longer thinking about how to reinstall Windows computer 7, do the rest:
- indicate the time, date and keyboard layout;
- agree to the terms, indicate the user name and computer name;
- enter the key, etc.
After installation (drivers)
As a rule, reinstalling Windows 7 on a laptop or computer is quite easy, but after the process of replacing the OS, many users have a number of questions. For example:
- “Why did the image quality deteriorate after installing the new system?”
- “Why doesn’t my computer or laptop see the flash drive?”
- “Why has the sound gotten worse?” etc.
All this happens most often when the reinstallation was carried out by downloading the OS or buying a disc from someone else (you don’t have to think about how to reinstall a Windows 7 computer, but some “jambs” still pop up). In order to solve a number of similar problems, it is enough to download drivers from the manufacturer’s official website. Or pay attention to the drivers before reinstalling the system.
Let's look at it with an example. Let's say before you reinstall Asus Windows 7, the user was not puzzled by the issue of saving data from his laptop, or he simply did not have the opportunity to do so. What should I do?
It’s simple, just type in the search engine the model (the manufacturer’s company is enough) of the device and add the treasured phrase “Download drivers from the official website.” Then go to the link of the manufacturer’s website and indicate the full model of the laptop in the appropriate form. Next, you need to download all the presented drivers one by one and install them on the laptop one by one. There are no installation tricks, since the drivers install themselves where they should.
If for one reason or another the drivers have gone wild and are installed in the wrong place, you can go to the device manager and force them to update.
In order to get to the remote control, you can simply type “Device Manager” in search bar pops up when you click Start. Next, right-click on the driver that is marked with an exclamation mark. And select “Update drivers”, in the new window all that remains is to indicate that the required files must be searched on the computer itself and indicate the location where they were installed.
If all drivers are installed normally in Device Manager, the image will improve and the screen resolution will increase to the required level.
In conclusion
The computer can “fly” at any moment, so it’s worth thinking about organizing backup storage for high-value files before reinstalling Windows 7. This way you can save a lot of time after installing the system, because it’s quite possible that even the most basic programs ( Word, etc.) will have to be searched and installed again.
Reinstalling Windows 7 on a laptop or computer is not difficult; even a novice user can cope with this task. The main thing is to approach the issue responsibly and spend an hour trying to save all useful information from the computer even before reinstalling the OS.
