Go to the [Bitcoin Core download page](/en/download) and verify you have

||||||
|
made a secure connection to the server.
|

|

|
||||||
|
|

|
Click the large blue *Download Bitcoin Core* button to download the

|
Bitcoin Core installer to your desktop.

{{verifyReleaseSignatures}}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After downloading the file to your desktop or your Downloads folder
|
||||||
|
(`C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\Downloads`), run it by double-clicking its icon.
|
||||||
|
Windows will ask you to confirm that you want to run it. Click Yes and the
|
||||||
|
Bitcoin installer will start. It's a typical Windows installer, and it will
|
||||||
|
guide you through the decisions you need to make about where to install Bitcoin
|
||||||
|
Core.

|
1. If you want to use the Bitcoin Core Graphical User Interface (GUI),
|
||||||
|
proceed to the [Bitcoin Core GUI](#win10-gui) section below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. If you want to use the Bitcoin Core daemon (bitcoind), which is
|
||||||
|
useful for programmers and advanced users, proceed to the [Bitcoin
|
||||||
|
Core Daemon](#win10-daemon) section below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. To want to use both the GUI and the daemon, read both the [GUI
|
||||||
|
instructions](#win10-gui) and the [daemon
|
||||||
|
instructions](#win10-daemon). Note that you can't run both the GUI
|
||||||
|
and the daemon at the same time using the same configuration
|
||||||
|
directory.

{:.no_toc}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Press the Windows key (`⊞ Win`) and start typing "bitcoin". When the
|
||||||
|
Bitcoin Core icon appears (as shown below), click on it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You will be prompted to choose a directory to store the Bitcoin block
|
||||||
|
chain and your wallet. Unless you have a separate partition or drive
|
||||||
|
you want to use, click Ok to use the default.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your firewall may block Bitcoin Core from making outbound connections.
|
||||||
|
It's safe to allow Bitcoin Core to use all networks. (Note: you will
|
||||||
|
still need to configure inbound connections as described later in the
|
||||||
|
[Network Configuration](#network-configuration) section.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Bitcoin Core GUI will begin to download the block chain. This step will take at
|
||||||
|
least several days, and it may take much more time on a slow Internet connection
|
||||||
|
or with a slow computer. During the download, Bitcoin Core will use a
|
||||||
|
significant part of your connection bandwidth. You can stop Bitcoin Core at any
|
||||||
|
time by closing it; it will resume from the point where it stopped the next time
|
||||||
|
you start it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After download is complete, you may use Bitcoin Core as your wallet or
|
||||||
|
you can just let it run to help support the Bitcoin network.

*Optional: Start Your Node At Login*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Starting your node automatically each time you login to your computer
|
||||||
|
makes it easy for you to contribute to the network. The easiest way
|
||||||
|
to do this is to tell Bitcoin Core GUI to start at login.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While running Bitcoin Core GUI, open the Settings menu and choose
|
||||||
|
Options. On the Main tab, click *Start Bitcoin on system login*. Click
|
||||||
|
the Ok button to save the new settings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The next time you login to your desktop, Bitcoin Core GUI will be
|
||||||
|
automatically started minimized in the task bar.

|
#### Bitcoin Core Daemon {#win10-daemon}
|
||||||
|
{:.no_toc}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To start Bitcoin Core daemon, first open a command window: press the
|
||||||
|
Windows key (`⊞ Win`) and type "cmd". Choose the option labeled
|
||||||
|
"Command Prompt".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you installed Bitcoin Core into the default directory, type the
|
||||||
|
following at the command prompt:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind -daemon
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Bitcoin Core daemon should start and print a message that Bitcoin Core is starting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To interact with Bitcoin Core daemon, you will use the command
|
||||||
|
`bitcoin-cli` (Bitcoin command line interface). If you installed Bitcoin
|
||||||
|
Core into the default location, type the following at the command
|
||||||
|
prompt to see whether it works:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{{start_up_and_recommended_commands}}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, to safely stop your node, run the following command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoin-cli stop
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|

|
*Optional: Start Your Node At Boot*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Starting your node automatically each time your computer boots makes it
|
||||||
|
easy for you to contribute to the network. The easiest way to do this
|
||||||
|
is to start Bitcoin Core daemon when you login to your computer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Start File Explorer and go to,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Right-click on the File Explorer window and choose New → Text file.
|
||||||
|
Name the file `start_bitcoind.bat`. Then right-click on it and choose
|
||||||
|
Open in Notepad (or whatever editor you prefer). Copy and paste the
|
||||||
|
following line into the file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind -daemon
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(If you installed Bitcoin Core in a non-default directory, use that
|
||||||
|
directory path instead.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Save the file. The next time you login to your computer, Bitcoin Core
|
||||||
|
daemon will be automatically started.
