Summary
To successfully install Windows, it is very important that you assess the system, document it, plan the installation, and then methodically follow through with your plan. When documenting the system configuration, it’s crucial that you ensure that the system is powerful enough to run the desired version of Windows and that all components are in the HCL. It’s also important to thoroughly record all the information you can about the computer, including the network and hardware settings for the system.
