If you've had no oast experience in installing OS's, its best to try on an existing computer than on a new one. And no I'm not saying on the actual computer. If you have a old computer, it would be a good idea to download Windows Virtual PC and practice installing a OS's on there so you know how to do it to avoid mistakes in the future. Hey people,

The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer. Additionally, the desktop GeForce graphics drivers will not install on Geforce M series and Quadro M series notebook GPU's." Never mind, I found my answer:
