+#### Windows: Prebuilt binaries
+Check out the [latest release][github-latest-release] assets for Windows binaries.
+Use the `ffsend-v*-windows-x64-static` binary, to minimize the chance for issues.
+
+You must install OpenSSL 1.1.0j which `ffsend` depends on. The installer for

+
+You can use `ffsend` from the command line in the same directory:
+```cmd
+.\ffsend.exe --help
+```
+
+To make it globally invokable as `ffsend`, you must make the binary available in
+your systems `PATH`. The easiest solution is to move it into `System32`:
+```cmd
+move .\ffsend.exe C:\Windows\System32\ffsend.exe
