At IU, how do I install Windows 8 or 7?
Note: UITS expects the procedures for installing Windows 8 to be nearly the same as for Windows 7. These instructions will be modified as needed when Windows 8 installation discs are available.
To install a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate available from the IU Bookstores, select the option below that best describes your needs.
Warning: Before proceeding, you should check the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to ensure compatibility with your computer. You should also check with your computer's manufacturer to make sure you don't run into any unexpected problems, such as loss of warranty, loss of service and support, or lack of drivers.
