NOTE This section explores the installation details for thick clients, the

typical Windows standalone systems. Installation of thin clients means

plugging a machine into a network, booting, and doing minimal

configuration. The main action happens on the network server. Thin clients

require much more extensive discussion of networking, covered in Chapters

18 through 21. Some thin client implementations use virtual machines that

run on the remote machine, so we’ll take a closer look at thin clients in

Chapter 22, “Virtualization.”

At its most basic, a Windows installation has two steps. First, boot the system

from the OS installation media. Second, answer the installation wizard’s

initial queries and let it do its thing. At the end of the 10- to 40-minute

process, you’ll be looking at a Welcome screen (see Figure 11-10) and be

ready to begin your love affair with the PC.
