The absolute best install method for any operating system is a clean install. Whether you’re installing Windows 7 on a new hard drive or creating a Virtual Machine for testing in a lab environment, the clean install is your best choice. A clean install means that you’re installing a fresh copy of Windows, not performing an upgrade.
To begin, boot your computer from the installation DVD. You may need to either change the boot order to place the DVD drive before the hard drive or hit a hotkey(F12 key on Dell) to open a boot menu during post. I’ll be installing Window 7 Enterprise version. The install method for the other flavors of Windows 7 should be identical.
