About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about slow installs cover both Windows 7 OS installation and software installation delays.

Troubleshooting attempts include disabling floppy drives in BIOS, removing RAM, and checking hardware compatibility. Specific hardware like NVIDIA GeForce chipsets and SCSI drives are mentioned as potential causes. The tag slow install aggregates user experiences with prolonged setup times and seeks solutions for faster installation.
