+You can either download the Windows installer package or a standalone Windows binary file.
 
 Read [Upgrading Grafana]({{< relref "upgrading.md" >}}) for tips and guidance on updating an existing
 installation.
 
-## Configure
+## Install with Windows installer
 
-**Important:** After you've downloaded the zip file and before extracting it, make sure to open properties for that file (right-click Properties) and check the `unblock` checkbox and `Ok`.
+Download the .msi installation file and run it, then follow the instructions in [Getting Started](/guides/getting_started/) to log in. The Grafana service starts automatically.
 
-The zip file contains a folder with the current Grafana version. Extract
-this folder to anywhere you want Grafana to run from.  Go into the
-`conf` directory and copy `sample.ini` to `custom.ini`. You should edit
-`custom.ini`, never `defaults.ini`.
+## Install standalone Windows binary
 
-The default Grafana port is `3000`, this port requires extra permissions
-on Windows. Edit `custom.ini` and uncomment the `http_port`
-configuration option (`;` is the comment character in ini files) and change it to something like `8080` or similar.
-That port should not require extra Windows privileges.
