1) Go into BIOS, google your motherboard name, usually it's DEL or F2. Can Vary.
2) Go to Boot Priority or something similar then set it to CD or USB what ever you are using
3) Boot from the CD, should prompt you to press a key to boot from CD.
4) Go through the installation process, it's pretty simple. Make sure you format your drive and BACKUP EVERYTHING before you do!!!!

I usually just go into Advanced Options in the Windows installer and click delete on every volume, besides the additional hard drives I have which have data on. and then click on the Drive I want to use as my OS then hit install. If there's any error codes coming up trying giving them a quick google search
