-How to Install Qortal on Windows+ 
 +===== NOTE - The Qortal UI is now deprecated and being replaced with Qortal Hub ===== 
 +These instructions still apply if you would like to utilize the Qortal UI to assist with installation of the Qortal Core. However, this functionality is being added to Qortal Hub in a future release as well.  
 + 
 +Also, installation of the Qortal Core for basic utilization of the network is no longer a requirement with Qortal Hub. But of course running the Qortal Core is suggested for maximum decentralization, and required for minting.  
 + 
 +The Qortal Core can be installed easily on Windows with a single core installation exe that can be downloaded from the Qortal Github releases page for the core, here - [[https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.exe]]  
 + 
 +=====Installing Qortal with the assistance of Qortal UI===== 
 + 
 +====Step 1 - Download Qortal UI installer from qortal.org==== 
 +====Step 2 - Run Qortal UI installer (next-next-next-finish)==== 
 +====Step 3 - Say YES to install Qortal Core (next-next-next-finish)==== 
 +Let the Qortal Core bootstrap and get synchronized 5-15 min. 
 +Create account/login and use Qortal!
