This video will look at how to perform a full install of Windows 8 from the DVD, USB or via the network. The network install requires no media to be taken to the computer. By the end of the video you will understand how to customize the Windows 8 install using different media to meet your needs.

Why the need for so many options?
Ultimately it depends on how many computers you want to install Windows 8 on to determine which option you will choose. If you only need to do one or two installs, the DVD will usually be the easier method. If the computer does not have an optical drive you may elect to use a USB key instead of the DVD. If you are planning to make changes to the install media, for example adding additional device drivers, it is generally easier to make these changes on a USB key. It is possible to perform these changes using optical, for example using a rewritable optical disc, however this is will generally be slower to make changes as compared with USB. If you plan to perform installs on a lot of computers, a network based install is a good option as there is only one copy of the install media and thus only one place where changes need to be made.
No Multicast Support
The network solution looked at in this video does not include multicast support. If you require multicast support you will need to use a commercial solution like Windows Deployment solution. Multicast support provides fast network install when many computers are being installed at one time as the same packet can be sent to multiple computers at the same time.
We also have a second video which only looks at a quick way to perform network based installs. If you are interested in that install and are not too worried about how it works, see the link for the following video.

The Install Process
In order to start the install process or boot Windows, a small amount of code first needs to be loaded. This is called the boot code, or boot strap or boot loader. It is responsible for displaying boot menus and loading the next part of the operating system. In the case of a Windows setup, this will be Windows PE. Windows PE will be loaded in memory and executed. Windows PE is a light weight version of Windows and can be used to run tools and run the Windows Setup. It is not a replacement for Windows and if left running long enough will automatically reboot. Each part of this boot process can be moved or changed to different media. For example you could boot Windows PE from a DVD and then run the setup from a network share. The choice is up to you.
Windows 8 install from the DVD
1) Place the Windows 8 DVD in the computer and start the computer. If no operating system is installed on the local drive, the setup will automatically will start. If an operating system already exists, you may need to press a key during boot to access the boot menu or go into the bios and change the boot order. If an installed operating system is found on a local drive, you will need to press any key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
2) The welcome screen allows you to change the install language, time and currency format and input keyboard type used for the install. Once you are happy with the options, press next.
3) On the next screen press the option install now when you are ready to start the install. On this screen is also the option "Repair your computer". This will launch a number of tools which may be able to fix boot problems with the computer. If you experience problems like this, select this option and this may be able to repair the computer rather than having to reinstall the operating system.
