Installing Windows 7 on ExoPC that has MeeGo

1. Put Windows 7 on a USB Stick. It must be a stick, I tried SDHC card and it didn't format right. I used this site for directions on how to put Windows 7 on the USB drive: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/

2. Plug in the USB stick into the ExoPC. Turn it on, and press Setup as soon as you see it.

3. When you are in the Setup, click on the Save & Exit tab.

4. Under Boot Override, click on the name of your USB drive, it was the second one under SATA for me.

5. Windows 7 should boot up, follow the directions. Delete current Disk and Partitions to make a disk with unallocated space.

6. Choose the Disk with unallocated space to install Windows 7 and follow on screen directions.

7. Do NOT enter product code during installation, click next. After installation, go to My Computer and go to system properties, scroll all the way to bottom and click on Change Key.

8. Make sure you are not connected to the internet, then Enter the product key. Wait for it to fail to connect online, then click for other activation options and click on automated phone. Call the toll free number.

9. Follow the directions given by the phone. If done correctly, Windows 7 is now fully activated.

10. To connect to internet, you might find that the driver for the built-in Atheros is missing. You need to use a USB internet adapter and connect to the internet temporarily via that way.

11. Once you got your USB internet adapter running internet, do a Windows Update immediately. You will notice the driver for the Atheros driver is there (might be under optional updates). Be sure to have it checked, and run the update and restart the ExoPC. After the driver is installed then you can use the Atheros built-in adapter.
