First you install OS.
Then you would need to install all necessary drivers for all of your hardware, video drivers, sound drivers, ethernet, tuch pad, etc.
Then you can start installing all the programs you need, MS Ofiice, media player, browser, etc.
Good luck
First, you need to install the operating system. This is the basis of all other software installed. Without it, you are left with an unbootable computer.
Next, you need to load the drivers for all of your hardware. Check with your computer’s manufacturer’s website for your make/model of your computer to get the right drivers for your system. Also, if you added/replaced any hardware, (e.g. new video card, TV tuner, etc.) make sure you obtain the drivers for those too. (memory/hard drive do not need drivers installed if added/replaced) Some hardware has its drivers included as part of the operating system, hence not needing to install them. Windows will prompt you if it needs a driver for additional hardware.
Once drivers are loaded, you can continue to load ordinary software (e.g. Antivirus, Office, updates, browsers, etc.) in any order you wish. After that, you’re finished.
Good Luck. Hope this helps. Email me for more assistance.
