If you have reached this page, it means you have decided to reinstall Windows 7 and need help with the installation. Below I will tell you in detail all the stages, starting with loading Windows on your computer and ending with Activating Windows and a short introductory video. And so let's get started. The first thing you need to do is download the Windows 7 image itself; there are two types: 32x and 64x. How to understand what bit depth you need, very simply in the computer properties there is information about your hardware, we are interested in the RAM line (installed memory). If you have 4 GB or more installed, you need a 64-bit version, everything below is 32-bit.

When we have already decided on the bit depth, we proceed to download the Windows 7 image. Click on the green button “Download Windows 7 Ultimate” and a torrent file called ru_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86.iso.torrent will be downloaded to your computer. We launch it to proceed to downloading via torrent program. If the file asks you to open it through any program, then uTorrent is not installed. follow the link to download it.

While Windows is in the process of downloading, we will download and install the UltraISO program. Using it, we will write the image to a disk or flash drive.

After installing UltraISO and loading Windows, let's start recording to a disk or flash drive. Launch UltraISO and perform the actions as in the screenshot:

Open the image with the program and perform recording.

We wait for the process to complete and close the program window. Now your flash drive or disk is ready to start outside the system.
Well, now the most interesting thing is, we need to tell the computer to start from our media; for this we need to call the BOOT MENU. Usually these are the DEL or F8 keys, but there are exceptions, it all depends on the manufacturer of your motherboard - below are the buttons from which you can call the BUTMENU from various motherboards.

If you did everything correctly, you will see a type of menu with a boot selection, control using the arrows and the ENTER key.

After selecting the BOOTMENU, it will begin copying the “loading in Windows file” files to start installing Windows 7. In the first installation window, you must select a language and click Next.

In the next window, click Install.

Selecting the installation type, click “Full installation (advanced options)

And here is the most important window, selecting the partition on which the installation will be performed. For proper installation, you must format the system drive C where your old Windows is located. Ideally, it is better to delete it and also the partition where the MBR is stored; it usually weighs 100 MB. To do this, select the section and click Delete. “Unallocated disk space” will appear. Click “Create”, specify the disk size or leave it unchanged and click “Apply”

Now it’s a matter of time, as soon as you click Next, copying files to install Windows 7 will begin. You can remove the flash drive or disk after the first reboot and watch the installation process until the Select user name window appears. Enter any desired name and click Next.

In the Windows product key entry window, uncheck the “Automatically activate Windows when you connect to the Internet” checkbox and click Next.

That’s the whole simple installation process, a familiar desktop will appear in front of you - which means that Windows 7 Ultimate is installed.
Another important and mandatory process is Windows activation. On the desktop, find a shortcut called “Activator”, launch it and do everything as shown below in the screenshots.

The Windows 7 operating system is already installed on the hard drive; I personally don’t need it and I want to reinstall it. Before installation, I will delete all existing partitions on the hard drive and create them again.

How to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk? This topic is relevant today. Moreover, it concerns the new OS developments that appeared not so long ago. And now in more detail! Windows 7, or simply “seven,” is one of the latest operating systems from Microsoft, and at the same time the most successful of them. At least that's what many experts think.

What does installing from a boot drive mean?

How to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk? The standard model for installing any operating system is from a hard drive. And in addition to a disk, a drive can be used as it. The installation option from a flash drive is quite reliable. As with a disk, the host system is installed at a lower level in the computer's software hierarchy. In other words, “from under the old system.” In addition, this method of loading a new “OS” allows you to format the hard drive on which the previous system was located. This will protect the OS from old programs that may be malicious, as well as from “under-deleted” parts of files that are invisible at first glance, but remain in the system and interfere with its normal operation. Such “scraps” of unnecessary documents hinder the speed of the system. Malfunctions may occur. You should consider how to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk and without a flash drive.

If there is neither a flash drive nor a disk

The standard installation method is not always possible. For example, if there is no disk, but there is an OS file on the computer or laptop itself. What to do in such a situation? How to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk or flash drive on a computer? The system file can be presented in the form of an image, an archive, or simply an installer. To install the system from an image, you must run a special program. It is necessary for reading/writing exactly this kind of formats. For example, Daemon Tools. Having launched the image in the program and mounted it, you should select the installation file. If the OS is available as an archive, then there is no need to unpack it. How to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk or flash drive on a computer in such a situation? Click on the archive and select the installer file from the drop-down list. It has ".exe" permission. This file is located mainly towards the end of the list of archive contents. There will be no difference in launching the installer even if the operating system is simply located in some folder.

What do you need to remember?

If you are installing a production system for the first time, there are some rules to keep in mind. You need to know them if you need to answer the question of how to reinstall Windows 7. Whether this will be done without a disk or with it does not play an important role.

Firstly, the installation of a new OS may occur due to the computer being infected with viruses. This is a useless process if it is not accompanied by formatting. The fact is that infected files do not disappear anywhere with this type of installation of the main working environment. They are saved in the previously installed system. Subsequently, they will simply switch to a new shell.

Secondly, the best, and most importantly, the safest installation method is still to use a hard drive. Reinstalling Windows 7 without a disk in such a situation is not difficult. It is enough to have a bootable USB flash drive. If it does not exist, then it is created using simple actions. There is a program specifically for this that writes images to media. For example, Ultra ISO. Accordingly, if the files are not in disk image format, you should create one. Usually the same Daemon Tools is used for this.

How to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk on a laptop or computer? It should be remembered that when installing a new system, you should always use only verified files. The fact is that with modern progress, handicraft assemblies are found everywhere. When downloading Windows 7 from the Internet, no one can say with confidence that it is not “hard-wired” with malicious software.

First actions

How to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk on a laptop or computer? Let's look at how to do this in the simplest way. Find the folder with the operating system and run the installation file. After this, the installation window will open. It will display the ability to configure the following settings:

For our country, naturally, you should choose the Russian language option everywhere.
After clicking the “Next” button, a window with the “Install” button opens. By clicking on installation, we go to the license agreement. We accept it by checking the box next to the appropriate inscription.

The most popular types of systems

The installer may contain several system options. The most commonly used:

If you are wondering how to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk or flash drive on a laptop or computer, then you should understand that this is an incomplete list of possible systems.

Don't forget about the bit depth

All programs of this type differ in their bit depth, that is, 32-bit (X86) and 64-bit (X64). This parameter is indicated after the system name. For example, Windows 7 Ultimate X86.

The choice of the level of the system to be installed should be made based on the power of the computer's resources. If the laptop or PC is relatively weak, it is recommended to install X86 OS (32-bit version). It is best to install Windows 7 X64 if the RAM size exceeds 4GB. The thing is that the 32-bit version is simply unable to “see” such a volume.

What to do when formatting is needed?

Let's get back to how to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk. The next OS installer window will offer the option of completely installing the system on your computer and updating. You must opt ​​for a full installation. Otherwise, only an update to the pre-existing operating system will occur.

After selecting the preliminary parameters, a window appears with the ability to select a hard drive. This method will not allow you to format it. This is due to the fact that the installer was launched from a running system. If it is necessary to format the disk, which is desirable when installing the OS, then this point can be bypassed. This happens as follows. Until the new “seven” is installed, take any other partition of the disk and clear it of files (move them if you need them, and just don’t touch them if you don’t need them). After that, format the partition. You should not change the drive letter in this situation. When answering the question of how to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk or flash drive on a laptop or computer, you should keep in mind that when you boot the new system, the drive letters will change automatically. The formatted partition should be selected for system installation.

If cleaning is not needed

If formatting is not necessary, you can simply select the drive to install the new system and continue. In such a situation, the old system will remain in the “Windows old” folder. It will be located on the “C” drive. It will also be possible to start and work from it. But it is not recommended to do this, since two identical operating systems on the same disk may “conflict”. This, in turn, will lead to a malfunction. The old OS can be removed or moved to another medium. There is another very significant point that you should remember when answering the question of how to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk on a laptop from Asus, Lenovo, HP, etc.

If the partition on which the new OS is installed does not have enough space for two operating systems, the installation process will not be able to start. This occurs due to the fact that the old shell is not removed and continues to occupy space. It is important to remember that frequent reinstallation of the operating system leads to disk destruction. This can be avoided by using different types of defragmenters. For example, the Victoria program.

This problem is not so bad for computers. There is nothing easier than buying a new hard drive and installing it. This is easy to do yourself. However, if the hard drive breaks on a laptop, then, in addition to the cost of the disk itself, you will have to pay for repair services. You should know about this if you are interested in the question of how to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk from a flash drive.

What do you need to enter after installation?

Having selected the disk (partition) for installation, click “Next”, which will lead to unpacking and subsequent installation of the new Windows 7. This process is fully automated. It will last for 25-30 minutes, depending on the power of the computer (laptop). After completing the installation, you need to enter the following parameters:

If the input is incorrect, the system will tell you about it and ask you to correct the symbols, indicating the error.

Entering the password and key

During installation, you will be asked to assign a password and a hint in case you lose it. After this, a window appears in which you must enter the key to activate the operating system. If it is missing, simply click “Next” after unchecking the box next to “Activation while connected to the Internet.” Then you will be able to activate the system in any convenient way. This is done as follows:

You need to protect your computer from external threats

Let's return to the question of how to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk on a computer or laptop. The next step is the protection settings. You can use the recommended service, or you can postpone the decision and configure it later. Protecting your computer is one of the most important aspects of installing an operating system. The fact is that the security of the equipment will depend on how well you limit access parameters from other people’s devices. This menu is nothing more than offering an option to select a data protection set created by Microsoft specialists. It should be understood that they already provide and set the recommended parameters. By skipping this point, many people forget to perform the configuration manually in the future, putting their files at risk.

So, having decided on security, click “Next” and configure the time and date (time zone, etc.) in the new window.

Next, the installer displays the network parameters window. It can be either home or public. Due to this, the settings in the Internet properties are changed. As for the general understanding, the home network looks more conservative regarding the configuration. A public network, on the contrary, provides greater access to the resources of a laptop or computer.

What can be changed after installation?

This was the last step, after which you will get a practically empty desktop of the newly installed Windows 7 operating system. Basic settings (for example, adding the My Computer folder or user files to the desktop) can be done by left-clicking on the desktop space and selecting the "Personalization" tab.

There you can also set a different background image, change the default theme (usually Windows 7 Aero), change the screen resolution, and much more.

Standard licensed Windows 7 comes without additional programs. However, among the numerous assemblies you can find options that include many additional elements, software, and so on.

Conclusion

This article described how to reinstall Windows 7 without a disk or flash drive. You will install it on a netbook, laptop, computer - it does not play a big role. The principle of the installation process for a new system is the same.
