Step 1 - Place Windows 8 DVD in your dvd-rom drive and start your PC. Windows 8 will start to boot up and you will get the following screen with a rotating progress bar.
Step 2 - The next screen allows you to setup your language, time and currency format, keyboard or input method. Choose your required settings and click next to continue.
Step 3 - The next screen allows you to install or repair Windows 8. Since we are doing a clean install we will click on "install now".
Step 4 - Read the license terms and tick I accept license terms. Then click next to continue.
Step 5 - Choose the type of installation you want. Since you are doing a clean and a fresh copy of Windows, you need to click on custom.
Step 6- Select the Drive upon which you want to install windows. In this interface you 'll not find Drives name by alphbets like C, D, E or F drive etc. Their size 'll tell you the drive. Or you can use an easy way to identify that First drive (After the "system reserved" partition if "System reserved partition" is available) 'll be the C drive n then D,E,F and so on... So select your required drive upon which you want to install windows (Mostly we Choose C drive) and click on "Next"
Step 7 - At this stage Windows starts to copy files to your hard drive and begins the installation. This process might take a few minutes depending on your computer specification. Now is a good time to grab yourself a coffee Because you don't need to do anything Now. Just watch your System ;)
Step 8- When all the necessary files are copied Windows 8 will automatically restart as shown. Now this time you don't need to boot from DVD or USB again.. just let PC restart itself and do not touch your keyboard even. Just let it be restarted by itself.
Step 9 - You will go through various progress bar and information messages as shown on the following images. Windows might restart automatically second time. You don't need to do anything.
Step 10 - Choose your PC name (without space) and personalize the color (by default blue colour is best)
Step 11- Here you can choose express settings or choose customize. Just click on " Use Express Settings"
Step 12 - This presentation 'll shows you how swiping the edge of the screen brings up the Charm bar. Using the Charm bar you can do a search or change your settings. It also demonstrates how you can hover your mouse on the bottom or top left corner to access the switch list. This list shows all open applications and allows you to switch between them. Just watch this presentation.
Step 13 - Soon as the demonstration finishes windows moves into the final stages of the setup.
Step 14 - Finally the setup process is finished and you are presented with a completely new and unfamiliar Metro user interface. You have your most common application right in front of you. Clicking on any tiles will launch that application. At this point you can start using your computer. If you want to go to your Desktop then you 'll find in bottom left corner.
