Before you install the theme, you should follow the method below that these themes work well.
First I suggest to you in order to create a Restore Point. Because if there is an error when installing, you do not need to worry.
How to Create a Restore Point?
• Open the Control Panel, select System and Security - Select System.
• On the options on the left, click System Protection.
• When the System Properties tab appears, please select the Local Disk (c) (System). Then click the Create button.
• After that, give the name to the restore point and click Create.
• Completed
Note: You do not need to use the Restore Point if an error occurs during installation.
If you have created a restore point, and then we went straight to the tutorial.
