    Default How to install windows into a barebone system

    Looking to get Intel DC3217BY Desktop Computer which is ultra compact. It looks like these do not come with a cd drive, any ideas how I can load windows operating in this?

    USB?
    Is it fairly easy? Will need to hookup a keyboard or something?

    Sorry I am a nooooob

    Life is a Gamble.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    You can "burn" the windows ISO to a usb stick, and boot off that.

    USB key. I opted to remove my dvd rom last upgrade.

    use this program from microsoft.. Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool. It'll create a bootable USB thumbdrive from a windows .iso file. Plug it in, boot up comp, done!

    Just make sure that you don't have any peripherals (like an external hdd) plugged in, or you might have a mishap. Keyboard and mouse are fine, just nothing that you can write data to.

    This way is the best bet I've been using it for years.

    That being said be careful where you get the ISO from as many sources online contain malware/key loggers and such... Especially if you download it from a ye old body of piratey waters.

    ^Here is the iso's for Win 7. Obviously, you need a key to make them work for more than the 30 days trial.
