Microsoft Windows has made the installation a lot more simple and toned down than previous versions of Windows. Users who have a multiple monitor set up can even continue using their computer while the install goes on (until the first required reboot). However, if you're on a single display, then you might want to go watch some tv or grab some food. The install process takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Simply place the CD/DVD in the computer and click the "Install Now" button. When the next screen appears click the "Custom Install" button and wait.
When the install process is winding down your will come to a few prompts before you're able to log in. The first will ask you for a user name and a computer name. You should try to give your computer a name like, "My Computer" or "Johns Computer" instead of just "PC". One thing to note is that your computer name and user name can not be the same. You will also be asked to provide a password for your account, however, you can skip this if you prefer to not have a password. The last bit of information the Windows 7 install process will ask for is the activation key (which should be located on the software box) which you can skip again. You are allowed 30 days before Windows 7 will 'force' you to enter it i

The normal keys to enter BIOS are DELETE, F2, F10 or F12 but the most common one is the Delete key as far as i can remember.
Also if you dont see the screen what do you see? Do you see the Motherboard Logo Screen? you can remove this by pressing the TAB key.
