How to Install a Dard Drive

Installing XP from USB

Someone in this post (Acer Aspire One Specifications and Windows XP Drivers) ask me to write a tutorial about how to install Windows XP using USB flash disk/flash drive.
If you want to install Windows XP, but your notebook (or PC) has no CDROM, you should install Windows XP using USB Flash disk/Flash Drive/Thumb drive...
just follow this guide :

without CD-ROM support (e.g Acer Aspire One, Asus EEE-PC).

Window 7 Minimum Requirements..

Microsoft recommend the following specifications for a system running Windows 7:

* 1GHz processor (32 or 64-bit)
* 1GB of main memory
* 16GB of available disk space
* Support for DX9 graphics with 128MB of memory (for the Aero interface)


However, it is technically possible to run Windows 7 with a lower specification PC with as little as 256MB RAM, 8MB graphics memory and a 500Mhz PIII CPU [Source]. This would not be recommended, but it demonstrates the scalability of Windows 7 compared to Vista.

Changeing Windows 7 Product Key

Windows 7 allows you to change the product key (or sometimes called serial number) of the product, even once you have already fully installed Windows. This can be useful if you buy a new license and need to swap keys.

To begin, right click Computer on the start menu and select Properties:




Now, scroll to the bottom of this window and click Change Product Key:



You can then enter the new key in the box provided and then click Next:



Windows will then spend a few moments checking that this key is valid:



Once complete, you a confirmation is displayed to let you know that the new key has successfully been updated:
