The user must create or select a partition, then a filesystem (either NTFS or FAT).Prior to Windows 2000, the user was required to scroll to the bottom of the agreement before they were permitted to agree.
If the user decides to install Windows, he/she is presented with an agreement that they must accept before Setup will continue.The user is then presented with a text-based interface which gives three options 1) install Windows, 2) repair an existing installation, or 3) quit setup.If any third-party drivers are needed in order to detect an SCSI or RAID system, setup pauses and requests the supply of a driver on a floppy disk.The user inserts the installation media, initiates the process, and Setup loads various hardware and file-system drivers.The setup process introduced with Windows NT 3.1 remained in effect until the release of Windows Vista. At this point the user will be asked to provide a product key. Once this phase is finished, the computer reboots and setup resumes from the hard disk, but still requires the installation media to continue copying files and drivers. The first phase of setup resembles the interface of Windows 3.x. The first phase of setup prepares the hard disk partition for use by Windows by formatting it to a compatible file system, then runs scandisk, and, if the hard disk appears to be ready for installation in terms of free space and disk integrity, then it will copy files to the selected installation folder (typically C:\WINDOWS). Windows 95- 98 and Windows Me do not require MS-DOS. After the installation, Windows was to be started either manually by typing "WIN.COM" at the command prompt, or configured for automatic startup by adding WIN.COM to the end of AUTOEXEC.BAT. The installer attempts to detect network cards, mice, and other hardware on its own but will rely on the user to specify hardware if it cannot find them. The installation of Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1x and Windows 3.2 requires that a compatible DOS operating system is already installed.

The user must specify any hardware such as mice or printers during installation. The installation of Windows 1.x, Windows 2.0, Windows 2.1x requires that a compatible version of MS-DOS is installed.
