Ok, but how do I actually do it?

First Difference:

reg D.(y x)

Fixed Effects:
You could create a fixed effect for every individual:

tab id, gen(idFE)
reg y x idFE*

You could include a temporarily created fixed effect for ever individual:

reg y x i.id

You could use the xt version:

xtset id year
xtreg y x, fe

Or other options:

areg y x, absorb(id)
reghdfe y x, absorb(id)

You need to install this ado file, but it is very helpful when using a large number of fixed effects
