On a Windows platform, the steps are mostly similar, except for 3 and 4. Let's assume we downloaded the ZIP-file monero.gui.win.x64.beta.zip from the official website straight to the Desktop.

Unzip the ZIP-file on your desktop itself. This should give you a directory monero-wallet-gui on your desktop, which contains (among many other files):

monero-wallet-gui.exe

monero-wallet-cli.exe

Open a Command Prompt: Start menu → Type in cmd → Press Enter . Next, we'll first create a suitable directory for the wallet. We'll do this directly in the location where the GUI stores them too. Next, we'll start the import process using the CLI utility monero-wallet-cli.exe . Type in the commands as you see them below, replacing the address and keys with yours obviously:

After this, start the GUI by double-clicking on monero-wallet-gui.exe , or via a shortcut you may have created elsewhere. Type in a remote node, such as node.moneroworld.com , and choose Open a wallet from file. Navigate to the file mymonero.wallet.keys , select it, and click on Open .

After you type in your password, your wallet should start synchronizing against the blockchain.
