Things you need:
*copy of Windows 7 installation disk/USB(if you don't have one read step (1)).
(1)
NOTE: This is for the people who don't have Windows 7 installation disk/USB. If you have that skip this step and go to step (2).
Things you need:
*ISO file with Windows 7 installation
*removable USB stick(min 4GB) or a burnable DVD
*USB*
To make a bootable USB stick with Windows 7 on it you need to download and install this program.
Windows XP user might need these [.NET Framework 2.0] [Image Mastering API 2.0] two programs to make Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool work(for Image Mastering API 2.0. you need original copy of windows XP on your comp)
Now follow the instructions in the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and wait for the program to make you a bootable USB stick with Windows 7 on it.
*DVD*
To make a bootable DVD use programs like PowerISO
Use the program to burn your Windows 7 ISO file to your DVD.

* Insert your Windows 7 DVD/USB into your computer
* Boot from the DVD/USB(to do that you might need to press esc, f12 or f8 when you computer starts to boot. You need to select Boot Options and make it boot from the USB/DVD. Note that all computers have different BIOS so I can't really help you if you have problems with this part. Google might be able to help you out there ).
