## Installation workflow

Installing on a Windows system involves the steps shown below:

1. Prerequisites

   - Make sure that your system meets the hardware and software requirements. For details, see the Support Matrix.
   - Review the information here: Prepare for installation.
   - Installation must be performed at the destination machine. Installation using terminal service is not supported.

2. Run the setup

   - Wizard installation: To run the installation using the Setup wizard, see Install components using the Setup wizard.
   - Silent installation: To perform a silent installation, see Install components silently.

   After you run the setup, run any patch installations if necessary.

3. Install a language pack (optional)

   After you complete the installation, you can install a localized version to view the user interface in your local language. For details, see Install a language pack.

4. Complete post-installation configuration

   Configure Vusers to run on a load generator machine without the need to log on manually. For details, see Configure user login settings.

## Upgrade your installation

The installation package provides a full installation that can be installed over any previous version, 12.5x and later.

To upgrade all components in your Windows installation using the Setup wizard, follow the installation process as described in Install components using the Setup wizard. The installation process detects the older version and gives you the option to upgrade.

For silent upgrade, see Install components silently.
