First off you have to have a restore CD from the factory and you have to set the BIOS to boot from CD or DVD then insert you disc. It will pick up the Windows Software and ask to boot from CD or DVD whichever you have. Then follow the on screen instructions and do a full not a upgrade. That is about it. I hope this assisted you.
