(https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/w/windows8.htm)
The following are the steps on how to install Windows 8 operating system:
Step 3 - The next screen allows you to install or repair Windows 8. Since we are
doing a clean install we will click on "install now".
6
Step 5 - At this stage you need to type your product key that came with your copy of
Windows 8. Click next once you have entered the product key correctly.
7
Step 10 - Click OK to create the partition. Windows will create additional system
partition which you don't have to worry about.
Step 14 - You will go through various progress bar and information messages as
shown on the following images. Windows might restart automatically second time.
8
Step 15 - You are now presented with "Let's
go through a few basics" screen. It will
automatically select personalize option.
9
Step 20 - Send Microsoft info to help make
Windows and apps better. Choose your
preferred options or leave the default
settings. Click next to continue.
10
Step 24 - Click local account
Step 26 - At this stage Windows starts to finalize your settings. You will get the
following information screen as the installation moves forward.
Step 27 - As Windows 8 setup progresses you are given a presentation of the new
interface. Its shows you how swiping the edge of the screen brings up the Charm
bar. Using the Charm bar, you can do a search or change your settings. It also
demonstrates how you can hover your mouse on the bottom or top left corner to
access the switch list. This list shows all open applications and allows you to switch
between them.
11
Step 28 - Soon as the demonstration finishes windows moves into the final stages of
the setup.
12
Step 32 - You can choose to "Search

"Browse my computer for driver software". If
you have the driver CD or if the driver is on a
USB drive then choose "browse my computer
for driver software". Window 8 will search and
install the driver from the CD or you can locate
the driver manually.
Once you have removed all the yellow
exclamation marks from the device manager
your Windows 8 configuration would be fully complete.

Note: If your computer doesn’t have an operating system installed yet, you will want
to stop after you install your mouse and keyboard, install your operating system, and
then resume the installation of peripherals.

Installing the Monitor
Installing a monitor (also known as a “display”) requires a free power outlet for
A/C power and identifying the connection type you will use to connect the monitor to
your graphics card. Both DVI and VGA connections are still very common in today’s
market and many monitors and graphics cards include both types of connections.
For the best picture quality possible, use the digital DVI port on your graphics
card and display if they are available. Most all graphics cards now support multiple
monitors and they typically include the adapters required to change a DVI connection
to VGA for older displays. Once you have the display plugged in, simply connect it to
the appropriate connector on your video card and you are ready to go. Drivers are
not typically required for displays, but once again consult the manufacturer’s
instructions for details.
Installing a Webcam
Most webcams are USB-powered and simply
require that you plug them in and install their drivers.
31
However, some cams require that the drivers be installed first, so be sure to read the
instructions that came with your webcam to avoid any problems. If you bought a
FireWire (a form of connection that is often faster than USB connections) webcam,
ensure that your computer has a FireWire port because they are not yet all that
common.
Installing a Scanner
Installing a scanner is almost identical to
installing your printer, though I have only seen USB
scanners in the last few years. Again, you will
simply need to install the drivers and then plug the
USB cable in. Read the manufacturer’s instructions
for more details on this installation process.

which of their manufacturers’ other programs you are running on your device and
provide updates to these as well.
The risks
Not keeping your operating system up to date can result in serious issues,
affecting both your device and your own personal security. These include:
Viruses, spyware and other malware.
Cybercrime attacks.
Crashing, freezing and generally poor performance.
Windows Computers
To ensure that the latest Windows updates are downloaded and installed
automatically, you should check that your computer is set up as follows:
Windows 8 & 10
From the Start menu, click 'Control Panel'. Select 'Windows Update', then
click 'Install optional updates'.
In the left pane, 'click Change settings'. Under Important updates, choose the
option that you want.
Under 'Recommended updates', select the 'Give me recommended updates
the same way I receive important updates' check box, and then click 'OK.'
You may be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
Windows 7
From the Start menu, click ‘Control Panel’. Select ‘System and Security’,
then click ‘Turn automatic updating on or off’ (under Windows Update).
Ensure ‘Install updates automatically (recommended)’ is selected.
Windows Vista
From the Start menu, click ‘Control Panel’.
Select ‘Security’,
then click ‘Turn automatic updating on or off’ (under Windows Update).
Ensure ‘Install updates automatically (recommended)’ is selected.
Windows XP
Microsoft is no longer issuing commercial updates for Windows XP. Read our
advice about replacing Windows XP on this website, or if you are a government user
whose device is covered by an extended agreement, contact your IT department.
When Windows downloads have been downloaded, it will be indicated to you
that they are available. You should re-boot your computer to install them (after which

the display will show how many updates have been applied out of the total) – or if
your computer is locked, it will automatically power down and you will have to start it
up to install the updates. Do not interrupt updates by unplugging or restarting the
computer.
OS X Computers
Back up your Mac using Time Machine or another backup system.
If your computer is a MacBook, ensure it is plugged in to mains power.
Click the Apple icon at the top left of the main menu bar and choose ‘Software
Update’, which will reveal the available updates. You will have to agree to an
Apple user license agreement, and Get Safe Online does recommend that
you read all terms & conditions for your own protection. If other updates are
offered, run these in addition to OS X updates. Alternatively, you may choose
to download Apple's manual installer.
A progress bar will indicate update status. Do not interrupt updates by
unplugging or restarting the computer.
You will be asked to enter your Apple ID and password to verify iCloud and
Keychain options.
Mobile Devices
When updates are made available for your mobile device operating system,
they will be downloaded and installed automatically when the device is connected to
the internet.
