When installing on a physical computer insert your Windows 7 DVD media into your DVD drive and reboot your computer. If you’re asked to press a key to boot from DVD or CD, press any key. A black window will appear momentarily while the DVD content is read.
( you can install the same thing via pen drive and Network also but it has some different parameter I will tell you in further blogs)
Note: These screenshots are taken from a Windows 7 Ultimate installation performed on a virtual machine running on VMware Workstation. I will be using an.ISO file mounted on the VMs CD/DVD drive.
(another version of Windows 7 like Home, Enterprise, Professional... also have the same process)
Next, a Starting Windows screen will appear.
Note: If the Windows installation page doesn’t appear and you’re ot asked to press a key to start from DVD or CD, you might have to specify that your computer uses its DVD or CD drive as the start-up device.
Click “Next” unless you want to change some regional settings for the installation process
Click on the “Install now” button.
Next, accept the license terms and click on “Next”.
Next, unless you’re upgrading an existing Windows installation, press the Custom (Advanced) installation type button. Note that in this case, the Upgrade button is disabled because of this specific installation if performed on a new computer without any previous operating system on it.
The next phase is to pick the installation partition. Since this computer has a new hard disk that hasn’t been formatted before, you will only have the option to create a new partition on it.( we are considering New system Installation )
If you don’t want to specify a specific partition to install Windows on, or create partitions on your hard disk, click Next to begin the installation. If you already have another existing partition with enough free space and want to install the Windows 7 on that partition to create a multiboot configuration, select the partition you want to use, and then click Next to begin the installation. If you want to create, extend, delete, or format a partition, click Drive options (advanced), click the option you want, and then follow the instructions.
Since I don’t need to perform any additional task I will just click on the “Next” button. The installation process will then create a partition on all the available disk space, and format it.
The setup process will now begin to copy files from the installation DVD media to the hard disk.
The computer will reboot, and the next thing you’ll see is the prompt to set the user’s and computer’s name. By default, the computer’s name will be username-PC, where username is the username you’ve entered.
Click on “Next”.
Enter the user’s password. Remember this password, as it will be the ONLY user on the system, and unless you create an additional user or enable the built-in administrator account, if you forget this password you’ll need to crack it to gain access to the system. The best option would be to choose a complex password made of at least 7 characters or more (something like Pssw0rd or MYp@$$w0rd). You must also enter a password hint.
Next, type in your product key. If you do not have the product key at hand you can still click “Next”, and proceed with the installation. You will be asked to enter the product key after Windows is installed.
( if your Home user or you don't want to buy key so you can go for Windows Loader Option also )
Next, type in your product key. If you do not have the product key at hand you can still click “Next”, and proceed with the installation. You will be asked to enter the product key after Windows is installed.

Choose what sort of protection your computer gets. The ecommended settings are best for someone that doesn’t plan to hide their computer behind a corporate firewall (and even then, in some cases, this would be the best option). If you plan to install a 3rd-party firewall later you can opt to be prompted later. Note that this setting will also have an effect on how the computer uses the Microsoft Windows Update (Automatic Updates) features
Choose your time zone and location and click on “Next”.
Select your network location type. This setting can be changed later but do note that choosing a profile will have an effect on the Windows Firewall and sharing settings.
Click on “Next”.
Windows will finalize the settings and your desktop will appear.
