This document was written for new users who have never installed or used GnuPG before and have
not perhaps done any reading but just wish to "dive right in and get started" using signing and encryption. If this is the case, please take your time to read through the whole document first skipping the update instructions (which make up significant portions of the document now). Be sure that you are comfortable with all the terms etc. before doing anything! If you are unsure of any part, write to the GnuPG-Users or PGP-Basics lists for help before you begin. They’re really nice folks and are glad to help.
Obviously the first thing to do is to obtain a copy of GnuPG. You can download the latest binary version for Windows from the GnuPG Website. The file linked from there is the latest official release and gnupg.org is the primary source for all GnuPG versions. mozdev.org - enigmail: gpgconf
