5. Select “Custom (advance)” from the installation types option. Choose Upgrade in case of you have a previous version of Windows (like Vista). The upgrade option will not be discuss now.

6. Partition your hard drive. You can choose to create one or more partitions as you wish. I saw in the last years a tend to create a single partition, even if is very large. I personally use 2 or 3 partition for hard disks larger that 200 GB.

A system partition will be created next to your partition(s).
