will these discs install from boot up with no problems, or do I need a operating cpu?

My lap top was not operating at all, it kept shutting itself off and I bought these disc and I only needed the 32 bites, it rectified the problem and my laptop is functioning superbly. I've used these disc since Mach and my laptop has be fine since.

I already have linux installed on my pc, I'd add this drive and install win on it. How do I go to make sure boot OSes boot properly?

You will need to install an OS and drivers, but you are able to run right out of the box.

I really don't know the difference, but what I bought works fine, and I have not had any problems. If ever there is added software, just delete the installation program after you have it running, but keep the disc in case of any failures or having to reinstall.

Nope, no problems--running Win 7 ultimate and also Win 7 pro and all runs smoothly as advertised. Try clean install. Good luck

I had no problems with this issue. It would be a good idea to back up your files prior to installing.

Sorry to say the answer is NO. The system will not boot from CD/DVD or USB drive so no way to install any other Operating System

I have mine setup to run like 7. Just download a free start menu button and have the comp boot to desktop instead of tiles.

No problems, dualbooting win7 and linux mint (it's a ubuntu based os)both 64bit, just make sure you're using mbr, and not gpt.

This is a barebones pc. You need to buy the processor, hard drive, memory, and OS seperately and install them.

The instruction manual says yes! Just pick the software at time of installation.

Sure, but if you already have this machine, you might trying setting up a Win8 VM on it. That would allow you to keep your installation reasonably virgin, and minimize the risks of changing the OS and bungling it all up.

I doubt it will run without installation. I installed mine and it works great. This is not a plain DVD, it is a DVD-ROM.

Yes, the drive is compatible and would probably boost your performance if employed as a boot drive.

Not quite, you'd need to install memory, hard drive (sold separately) and then the operation system. For me, Ubuntu Desktop v12 worked just fine.

I purchased the cd and installed it without requiring a key. I always opt for the cd/dvd because it avoids issues like slow wifi speed. Call their technical support.

You need to install a hard drive, the memory, and then drivers on the machine and then you will need to install an operating system - I highly suggest getting an external CD/DVD Drive.
