From within the Windows 7 operating system, running Setup from USB drive or DVD (one that you have bought from a retail store or the one that you made using the downloadable installer) will launch the upgrade installer program. Keep in mind that you can do an upgrade install of the Windows 8 operating system from both upgrade and clean install media. If you wish to update the installer, it will connect to the Internet, download the necessary files, and restart.
You will have to type in a valid product key before the Setup can continue. The edition of the Windows operating system that will be installed will be determined by this product key. Windows 7 operating system would allow installation without a product key. You will then have to accept the Windows license terms. Take your time to read and understand the license terms. Choose the type of installation that you would like to do. The first type keeps all your files, settings, and apps. The second one preserves only the files of the user and the third one completely wipes off the hard drive and starts everything from scratch.
The installer program will check all the installed drivers and applications for any incompatibilities. Those software that are incompatible should be removed before the installer continues. Depending on what needs to be removed, you may be asked to restart the computer. If the process is interrupted, the setup program will offer to continue where you left off while logging in back. After this step, you will be asked to confirm your selections and the Windows 8 operating system will start its unattended install process. The time taken will be longer than a clean install but not much.
From the end of the initial Windows setup process to the beginning of the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) wizard, installing the Windows 8 operating system from a DVD took more than twenty-seven minutes. A clean install of Windows 8 from the same DVD on to the same computer took about 10 minutes and 30 seconds to finish, measured from the end of initial setup process to the start of OOBE wizard.
