# How to install Loro on Windows

Download **Loro-setup.exe** from [heyloro.app/descargar](https://heyloro.app/descargar), open it and follow the steps: it doesn't need admin rights. If the blue "Windows protected your PC" screen shows up, click **More info** and then **Run anyway**. When Loro opens, sign in with your Google account and setup walks you through the rest in about three minutes. It works on Windows 10 and 11.

## Step by step

1. Download Loro from [heyloro.app/descargar](https://heyloro.app/descargar). The file is **Loro-setup.exe**.
2. Open it from your downloads.
3. If you see "Windows protected your PC", click **More info** and then **Run anyway**. It shows up because Loro's installer doesn't have a digital signature yet, like many new apps.
4. Follow the installer's steps. Loro installs for your user and doesn't ask for admin rights.
5. When Loro opens, click **Continue with Google** and sign in in your browser. From your Google account, Loro only uses your name, email and photo.
6. Go through setup (6 steps): you test your microphone, dictate for the first time, see how to edit by voice and write with your screen, connect your calendar (or leave it for later with **Not now**) and meet To-do.

Meanwhile, Loro downloads its voice model for when you're offline. No need to wait: with internet you can dictate right away.

## Where Loro lives

Loro stays next to the Windows clock. From that icon you open your dictations, your notes and settings, start taking notes on a call, or pause Loro. To dictate you don't need to open anything: in any app, hold **Ctrl + Win** and talk.

At the end of setup, **Open Loro when you turn on your computer** is on. You can change it anytime in **Settings › Preferences › Start with Windows**.

## Updates

Loro updates itself. When there's a new version, it asks you to update with **Update now**: it takes less than a minute, and your notes, dictations and settings stay as they are. What each version brings is in the [changelog](https://heyloro.app/en/changelog).

## Frequently asked questions

### What computer do I need?
