To begin, visit the official Gpg4win website. Kleopatra is part of the Gpg4win suite, which provides tools for encrypting and signing files and communications. Download the latest version of Gpg4win and run the installer. During the installation process, select "Kleopatra" from the list of components to install.
Once the installation is complete, open Kleopatra. You can find it by searching "Kleopatra" in your Start menu.
With Kleopatra open, follow these steps to create a PGP keypair: Once the keypair is generated, Kleopatra will prompt you to back up your private key. Make sure to save your private key in a secure location, as losing this will prevent you from decrypting messages.
After creating your keypair, you’ll want to share your public key with others to allow them to send you encrypted messages. You can now share this public key with others by uploading it to a keyserver or sharing it directly.
