These missing instructions from this obtained ISO file may be crucial to a successful
installation and subsequent use of the product as follows:
(Automatic files Updates from Microsoft just fine additionally)
Burn the iso file to a blank DVD5 disc using your DVD burner drive and
a program such as PowerISO (available on a separate torrent download) thereby
create a bootable installation disc.
While installing windows, you will sometimes/even very often see an annoying
message from the installation procedure section of the windows operating
program which says the hard disk you want to install windows on
“cannot be used with windows” (because it is partitioned using
MBR or GPT – the two variant options in use) when it should
simply say that it needs to switch from one type to the other
depending on what its requiring the partition type to be in order
to proceed.
When this happens, simply access the command prompt from the
installation screen at the start (shift F10) and then type the following
commands
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0 (if that’s the right disk number)
clean (that will erase whats on the disk – windows often
wont proceed without the CLEAN command – saying it cannot convert
when you do use this command – which it doesn’t tell you to use by the way)
convert MBR (or convert GPT) this is the final command
to convert to whichever type of partition format windows is requiring
for the particular installation you are doing.
EXIT
If the CLEAN command is inappropriate for you (such as when you
wish to retain some data on the hard disk, use a program like EASUS
– downloadable from torrent sites additionally) to convert partition
type and to so before installing this copy of windows.
