- Get the installer(CD).
- Put it into the CD drive.
- Put off the system.
- Put on the system. Before it boots up completely, open its BIOS(tap f9 or f12. It varies from system to system. Look up yours online).
- Use the arrow keys to select install from CD drive.
- Then select the installer.(it should appear).
Select 64 or 32 bit ( check if your system is 32 or 64 bit and choose the appropriate) and the type of Windows 8.1 to install. - Then choose if it should upgrade or split partition. Splitting partition means when you boot it, it will ask to pick between Windows 7 and 8.1. You will have both operating systems and upgrading just leaves you with Windows 8.1. Note: if you upgrade, you will be asked to delete all files or keep. If you choose keep, when the upgrade is done, your previous files will be in a folder named Windows.old. You can transfer the files from the folder wherever and also install previous applications.
- Some wizards will pop up. Stuff like agreeing to terms and stuff then it upgrades.
- Then it asks for activation key. It should be written on the pack of the disk except you are using a cracked version which will bypass it. If you don't have the activation key, check online for activation key. Specify the Windows type being installed.
- Wait for it to finish.
- Transfer files from the Windows.old folder.
