I have had issues trying to install windows 7 on my dell XPS M1530 laptop due to the bios being lockedd (only accepting a dell O/S). I need to release the lock to install a non dell os. Any help would be grateful.|||at now the dell laptops do not have windows seven home premiums.if u could wait for a few days u could get it free with ur laptops.first put on the cd into ur disk drive and restart ur system now after the dell logo appears it starts to boot and asks u to press any key.press any key and it starts to load the files and then follow the instructions.|||Run the windows 7 setup when you're logged into your computer. When it asks you "which type of installation do you want", click the first option, which is "Upgrade". Upgrading will keep all your files and documents, it will just transform your computer to windows 7.
Refer to the image below if you don't fully understand:
