Windows 8 Install

[Swizz_FreshBeatz]

I have just purchased the windows 8 pro disks for a new system, the supplier of the disks has sent me an email since that includes instructions on the install but it includes a .reg file and .batch file which the included instructions ask me to run in order, I just wanted to ask what these files are if anyone knows without seeing them or should I not run them at all

(Noob computer builder, first ever build)

Thanks for any help

Ask your supplier. A usual Windows installation shouldn't need any of those.

Where exactly did you buy them from?

[aidenrelkoff]

if you have an optical drive in your system. you just put the disk in and boot the computer up. it should say "press any key to boot to CD/DVD"

 

then its step by step from there and its as easy as installing any other program basically
