No doubt the installation of the operating system is important for any computer and much less the Windows Operating System.  There are a number of reasons that the installation has to be had just right as unlike the free ware, a re-installation can at times lead to unnecessary expenses. 

Emphasis must be made to use the original version of the software and PC support, as use of pirated software and common service not only is illegal but can seriously jeopardize the operations of the computer. That the parent companies themselves discourage the use of unlicensed software shows the importance that genuine software has in building systems for use. 

Initial steps

The very first step to install the Windows Operating System by any technical support team is to get hold of a proper installation disc and the license key.  This two would ensure a perfectly legal and professional installation at all times. 

The disc is inserted in the drive and the machine made to boot up from the drive.  With the presentation of the boot up menu, it is customary to set the language and time in the required dialog boxes. 

Formatting and partitioning of the drive

The default process with any computer is that the entire drive is treated as a single element. This is highly undesirable as data when corrupted on any part of the drive can affect the data on the remaining parts of the drive as well. Any good PC Support company will recommend using twoor more different drives. the formatting action separates the drives electronically and is as good an activity as having two or more separate drives. 

It has been experienced in the past with the technical support thatthe formatting activity cleans up the media from any residual activity that might have occurred earlier.  There is the fast format option that would take up very little time and would be sufficient in most cases.  This might not be so if the drive has been subjected to physical knocks that would cause more permanent or serious types of damages to the medium.  It is usually the more experienced hand that can really make a call on the need for a complete format.  But for most people a quick format would be sufficient. 

Now, partitioning of a drive goes along with the formatting activity and does improve the manageability and ease of operation of the computer.  It is easier to read a smaller drive than a larger capacity drive and hence it is convenient to have a number of smaller drives than a single partition.  Most technical support would insist on this practice. 

Installation of the OS and applications

Next comes the installation of the software by the PC supportThe system installs the whole version of the operating system first and then the various drives that help integrate the system into a functioning whole.  With the trained technicians at Newlite well and capable of the most complex installations, rest assured that the customer is in safe hands. 

At times, the applications would need to be tested for compatibility and suitability to the OS.  This is not that hard for people that have been trained in setting up such systems but a novice at the job might not find the going easy at all.
