How to take apart a CPU (2)

  In the last few weeks, we had been working on how to take apart a PC and install a new operation system to that PC.
  To take apart a PC, first you have to unlock the safety lock for the case, remember different PC has different designs, some you have to unlock and some unscrewed. Then unscrewed the screws around the harddrive, then unplugged all the power cable, do the same to the power supply and slowly pull it away. After that, unscrewed all the screws around the motherboard, remove the safety pin and slowly took away the CPU (The CPU is extremely important please be careful). At last, pull away the motherboard.
  To install a new operation system, firstly we have to make sure the PC had read the disc in te disc reader, then pressed F2 to install the system, after pressing F2 it should appears a bunch of codes and instruction, just leave it and wait for a few minutes, the system should start installing by itself. After that, set your user name and password and other settings like locations, time, background... etc. At last, you can enjoy your new operation system.
