I am new to TeX/LaTeX. How do I install TeX on Windows (7)? It seems that there are many different implementations, so which one is best for my OS?

Steps to Install LaTeX in Windows In order to setup LaTeX in your system, you need to download and install the basic version of MiKTeX. MiKTeX manages all.

You can choose between TeX Live and MiKTeX. In practice, it does not make a difference in which distribution you use. Especially if you are new to LaTeX. However, you should take care that you install the full version, with all packages, and not a minimal or base version.
You get MiKTeX from here (choose the 'MiKTeX 2.9 Net Installer') and TeX Live here.
Both install a basic editor (TeXworks). I have the experience from my workshops with students, that they have problems with that editor. I introduced TeXstudio which worked quite well in the lectures.

Some hints beside the selection of distribution:Don't install it in the
programs
folder. You may get problems with the authorization concept of win7.
And important: No spaces in installation path! Bodoni bold font free. Some tools will get problems.
