+| [Manually Installing the Prerequisites from the Updater](#if-the-updater-fails-to-install-the-prerequisites-for-any-reason) |
+
+*Note: If you want to make changes to Nadeko's source code, please follow the [From Source][SourceGuide] guide instead.*
+
+*If you have Windows 7 or a 32-bit system, please refer to the [From Source][SourceGuide] guide.*
+
+#### Prerequisites
+
+- Windows 8 or later (64-bit)
+- [Create a Discord Bot application](../../create-invite#creating-discord-bot-application) and [invite the bot to your server](../../create-invite/#inviting-your-bot-to-your-server).
+
+**Optional**
+
+- [Notepad++] (makes it easier to edit your credentials)
+- [Visual C++ 2010 (x86)] and [Visual C++ 2017 (x64)] (both are required if you want Nadeko to play music - restart Windows after installation)
+
+#### Setup
+
+- Download and run the [NadekoBot Updater][Updater].
+- Click on the + at the top left to create a new bot.
+ ![NadekoBot Updater](https://i.imgur.com/KZV49uf.png "NadekoBot Updater")
+- Give your bot a name and then click **`Go to setup`** at the lower right.
+ ![Create a new bot](https://i.imgur.com/Xnp7iQL.png "Create a new bot")
+- Click on **`DOWNLOAD`** at the lower right
+ ![Bot Setup](https://i.imgur.com/6RMXNqw.png "Bot Setup")
+- Click on **`Install`** next to **`Redis`**.
+- If you will use the music module, click on **`Install`** next to **`FFMPEG`** and **`Youtube-DL`**.
+- If any dependencies fail to install, you can temporarily disable your Windows Defender/AV until you install them. If you don't want to, then read [the last section of this guide](#Manual-Prerequisite-Installation).
+- When installation is finished, click on **`CREDS`** to the left of **`RUN`** at the lower right.
+- Follow the guide on how to [Set up the credentials.json](../../jsons-explained) file.
+
+#### Starting the bot
+
+- Either click on **`RUN`** button in the updater or run the bot via its desktop shortcut.
+
+#### Updating Nadeko
+
+- Make sure Nadeko is closed and not running  
+  (Run `.die` in a connected server to ensure it's not running).
+- Open NadekoBot Updater
+- Click on your bot at the upper left (looks like a spy).
+- Click on **`Check for updates`**.
+- If updates are available, you will be able to click on the Update button.
+- Launch the bot
+- You've updated and are running again, easy as that!
+
+#### Manual Prerequisite Installation
+
+You can still install them manually:
+
+- [Redis Installer](https://github.com/MicrosoftArchive/redis/releases/tag/win-3.0.504) - Download and run the **`.msi`** file
+- [ffmpeg-32bit] | [ffmpeg-64bit] - Download the **appropriate version** for your system (32 bit if you're running a 32 bit OS, or 64 if you're running a 64bit OS). Unzip it, and move `ffmpeg.exe` to a path that's in your PATH environment variable. If you don't know what that is, then just move the `ffmpeg.exe` file to NadekoBot/system
+- [youtube-dl] - Click to download the file. Then put `youtube-dl.exe` in a path that's in your PATH environment variable. If you don't know what that is, then just move the `youtube-dl.exe` file to NadekoBot/system
