How do you burn the files of windows 7 download?
I downloaded windows 7 to my desk top. But I don’t know how to burn it to disk so I can do a clean install. I don’t think it’s an ISO file. It came in 4 different files. They say set-up box 1, set-up box 2, windows marketplace box, and expanded set-up. How would I go about burning them to a disk so I can do a clean install?
Once you run the executable, you end up with a folder named something like Expanded Setup.
Everything in that folder is what you need and can burn to disk. It’s simply not in a bootable format. It’s perfectly fine running the setup without booting, and you’ll be able to clean install. You only need to boot from the disc if (1) going to a blank drive — which you’re not doing anyway with the upgrade, or (2) you need to do drive partitioning during installation.
If you do want to go through the few steps to make a bootable ISO, you can follow the steps below. Otherwise you’re going to be fine in most cases just burning that expanded setup folder to disc and running the setup file from within your current OS.
