So you have decided you want to take the plunge and install a Beta Operating System (OS) on your Blackberry?  Installing a Leaked OS is not a very complicated process, but it is slightly time consuming.  From my experience, a backup, OS install, and restore takes an average time of an hour.  For less experienced computer and Blackberry users it can take closer to two hours.  The following guide will walk you through the installation process.  As long as the process is followed step-by-step, your OS installation should go smoothly.  Be sure to read through the guide in its entirety before beginning the process so that you know the steps and time required for each step.  This guide is for installing an OS to your BlackBerry using a PC running windows.  There will be a tutorial for using Desktop Manager for Mac in a future Blackberry School lesson.
