The computer I installed this disc to originally came with Windows 10, which I dislike a lot, since it spends all it's time monopolising the system resources, often to the point where you cannot actually gain access to the computer to do anything useful! It decides it wants to do things itself, not the user! This overblown operating system is essentially a development of the failed Windows 8 with a new 'front end' and is no better. Windows 7 however is far more 'slimline' and works pretty much like my old favourite Windows XP, (just with a few extra bells and whistles'), and is a much more user friendly operating system. This Windows 7 disc has now made it far more easy to use the machine as it is no longer being controlled and monopolised by the loathsome Windows 10 operating system the machine came with. In order to instal the disc though I first had to blank the hard drive because in their 'infinite wisdom' Microbrains won't let you install an older operating system than the current one that's running. However once I had a clean drive the Windows 7 disc was easy, relatively quick and straightforward to install and worked well. Registration of the product was also easy and my machine is now working far better. This has proved a cheap and ideal way to revitalise the computer, which is a secondary machine used more or less exclusively to run sound synthesis programme and is not used for the internet much, my main Ubuntu Linux based one is used for that purpose.Read full review

While Windows was installed, the product is NOT a DVD, it comes as a bootable memory stick. There is also no box with it as shown in the picture. The product registration code is supplied and works perfectly so it's not a pirate copy. However, my main issue was that the most basic drivers were not included like they are with the Windows DVD. It failed to even install the generic network card driver that my previous Windows home did straight away. I had to hunt around for a suitable driver before I could get my PC online to get any other drivers, luckily I also had a laptop to search the net for one.

Very easy to install, with clear instructions included. My BIOS didn't allow USB boot so I had to create an install DVD, but just meant it was slightly slower to install. I didn't need to use the telephone activation myself, it just activated online. So far all going well!

This is an excellent product. Installation was simple and as expected. Entering the Product Key led to a requirement to undertake a Telephone Activation. Not having done this before, I was hesitant but it was straightforward. I had to state the displayed 8 sets of 6 numbers and in turn had to enter 8 sets of 6 numbers. At the end I was required to record those numbers - I should have taken a photo. After a standard set of updates everything worked, and continuously to work, as expected.

The Windows OS comes on an installation DVD, which makes it very easy to install on a normal standard pc. Straight forward to boot from and off you go with the installation of Windows 7. If possible, download any special drivers you might need for your pc beforehand especially network drivers, just in case. Normally, if your pc hardware is not too old, Windows 7 will be able to get the OS installed with the majority of the hardware working. If you are time strapped for the installation or even do not have inet access at the location where you do the OS installation, you might want to create an offline windows update media beforehand. As said - Win 7 installation normally is easy and straight forward.
