Downloading system requirements for Win8 and Win8

Regardless of the installation method, you must first download the system image of Win8. 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 with Win7 Same as Vista)

#1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor (1G or higher CPU)

# 1 GB RAM (32 -bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) (minimum 1G memory, 2G or more recommended)

# 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) (system Disk 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 a display that supports touch.)

The first method to install Win8 —— 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 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

Figure 8 asks if you choose to save your personal files, or do you want to install Win8?

After clicking Install, it is the whole process of Win8 system replication. After restarting, it will enter true. The Win8 installation link is gone.

Note to the author: 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.

At this moment, if there is no blue screen, congratulations, you have successfully installed Win8. The next step is to enter the Win8 system for a series of setup procedures!

If you can't install the upgrade installation in Win7 or XP, or only have a new computer, 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 USB flash drive) 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!

The original 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 is without any partition (the hard disk of the existing partition, Please see Figure 39)

Figure 37 Partition the hard disk (if it is a new hard disk, it is best to partition first)

Start the file copy process. After copying, open and then see Figure 11-29.

Figure 40 Ok, start the file copy phase

The following installation process, please see Figure 11 to Figure 29.

Off-topic

In the process of installing Win8, it is inevitable that there will be any accidents, such as a blue screen window, such as the card can not move in a certain part, such as encountering other people No troubles. 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 at the end

If you are a stable user, It is not recommended to use Win8 on your own computer, 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.
