To install Windows Tiny7 from this CD, set your PC up so it will boot from the CD-ROM in the
PC’s BIOS.
There is no upgrade option available in Tiny7, because the option is removed. Only install Tiny7
onto a freshly formatted partition or hard disk. You do not need any product key in this release –
the installation of Tiny7 is unattended, apart from in the very beginning where you choose which
drive or partition to install to.
All installations are set to US English. If you do not want the US keyboard settings, you will have
to change this in Windows when it has installed (as opposed to choosing it at install time), its easy
enough, just open the “Keyboard Settings” folder in the desktop eXPerience folder and read the
included ReadMe.txt that is there.
Special note from eXPerience:
I have used this modded OS for a few days and it seems every bit as fast as Windows XP. If you have
always wanted to use Vista, but were holding out for Windows 7 – its worth it! This slimmed edition
boots up fast, shuts down fast, opens applications fast, even VMware v5.5 runs fast on it once its star-
ted up. File copying seems no slower than XP. All in all this new Windows really blows away XP be-
cause of all the new features. You have to remember XP is from 2001 when no one even had such a
thing as “Wireless” or a SATA drive. Now all this new hardware runs on Windows XP but the OS
was never designed to run it really. You might wonder why not just use Vista – don’t even go there.
Lets just pretend Vista never existed. In fact Microsoft should have not ever released it but I guess
they had to in order to improve on it and eventually get it right – with Windows 7.
