Like what Soleron said, it would be a good idea to have an external hard drive so you can backup whatever you need. If you're on Windows XP and you want to install Windows 7, you can have it take everything on the hard drive and move it into a folder called "Windows.Old" before it installs Windows 7 or wipe everything from the hard drive before installing.

Like somebody else said, looking for a guide would be helpful as you could probably find one with pictures to make the process a lot easier.
