How to install windows 8

Downloading the 2.5GB ISO image from Microsoft's website took me
 about 20 minutes, although that time can extend based on your
 Internet connection. 
First up, a betta fish (because it's a beta, after all)


Now we move into the installation process:

You'll have to enter a product key, of course. What would 
Windows be without the Windows activation process? 
But instead of paying $200 for a license, all you have to do
 is grab the product key from the download page, as seen here:
Next, you'll agree to the Windows license terms, and select 
whether to do an upgrade or custom installation. The
 latter lets you choose which hard drive to use:
If you've installed Windows before, this screen will be 
quite familiar. This is the longest part of the installation,
 but it only took five minutes or so. 
After installation, you'll see another betta fish, and then
 you can start personalizing your computer, starting with 
giving it a name and choosing a background color. 
Now it's time to select installation settings.
If you select "custom," you'll go through options for 
sharing and connecting to devices; whether to 
automatically download updates and new device
 drivers; whether to send diagnostic information to
 Microsoft; whether to share information such as
 your name with applications; and whether to turn
 on the Windows Location Platform for location-based
 app settings. Here's an image of the settings for keeping 
your computer up to date and safe from viruses:
Now you can sign into the OS so that you can download 
applications from the new Windows Store and sync
 data across different computers. 
You'll be asked to enter a mobile phone number, alternate
 e-mail address, and security question, so Microsoft 
can help you reset your password if you can't log in.
 After signing in, you'll finally be looking at Microsoft's
 brand-new Metro interface for Windows 8: 
There's lots of stuff you can do in the Metro interface, such
 as accessing the Windows Store, and various applications
 such as Mail, SkyDrive, Photos, Internet Explorer, Xbox 
Live Games, and more. But if you find Microsoft's new
 tile-based setup overwhelming, you can switch back to 
the traditional desktop interface: 
And now you've seen the Windows 8 installation process. 
Enjoy Guys! and don't forget to post your comments. ©NaSaSrKr
