You'll need a copy of windows 7 on a CD, and the activation key ready. Make sure you back up all your files before switching, because installing a new operating system over the old one will reset your hard drive. CD's can be bought online, purchased and downloaded with a valid product key (requires you to provide your own CD and additional ISO writer), and found in most computer and office supply stores.
When you are ready, insert the windows 7 CD into the computer and restart. If an alternate boot menu for the CD doesn't appear, you might need to press the specified key displayed right as the computer starts up to switch to the CD instead. When you get your machine to boot from the CD, it's just a matter of following the on-screen prompt to complete the installation. A Product key will then be required within a few weeks to fully activate the Windows 7 installation.
