+Quickstart Guide for Windows
+============================
+
+Orthanc is a lightweight, open-source DICOM server ideal for medical imaging professionals. This guide will help you quickly set up and run Orthanc on a Windows machine.
+
+Step 1: Download Orthanc
+------------------------
+
+1. **Visit the Orthanc Website**
+
+   Navigate to the `Orthanc downloads website <https://www.orthanc-server.com/download-windows.php>`_.
+
+2. **Download the Windows Installer**
+
+   Identify your OS version 64 or 32 bits (note: very likely 64 bits) and download the latest version of the Orthanc installer (``.exe`` file).
+
+Step 2: Install Orthanc
+-----------------------
+
+1. **Run the Installer**
+   Locate the downloaded installer file and double-click it to start the installation process.  Note that the installer is not signed and you might
+   have to click on ``More info`` and ``Run anyway``
+
+.. image:: ../images/win-quick-start-protect.png
+           :align: center
+           :width: 60%
+
+2. **Follow the Installation Wizard**
+
+* Accept the license agreement.
+* Choose the installation directory (default ``C:\Program Files\Orthanc Server`` is usually fine).
+* Select the folder in which Orthanc will store its data files (default ``C:\Orthanc`` is usually fine).
+* Select the plugins to install.  Although you might not need all of them, they are all selected by default and this is fine.
+* Complete the installation by following the prompts.
+

+           :width: 40%
+
+Step 3: Orthanc is running !
+----------------------------
+
+At this stage, Orthanc is running as a Windows Service which means that it will start everytime your Windows machine starts.
+
+Orthanc User Interface is accessible at `http://localhost:8042/ui/app/ <http://localhost:8042/ui/app/>`_.  Orthanc is currently empty
+
+.. image:: ../images/win-quick-start-orthanc-empty.png
+           :align: center
+           :width: 80%
+
+Step 4: Upload and view your first DICOM images !
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+The easiest way to feed Orthanc with DICOM images is through the ``upload`` menu of the User interface.
+
+.. image:: ../images/win-quick-start-orthanc-upload.png
+           :align: center
+           :width: 40%
+
+Once this is done, your DICOM images will appear in the Study List and you'll be able to browse them and visualize them with one of the pre-installed viewers.
+Remember that we have installed all plugins ?  Therefore, you'll have the choice between 4 viewers:
+
+* The :ref:`Stone Web viewer <stone_webviewer>`
+* The :ref:`OHIF viewer <ohif>`
+* :ref:`Volview <volview>`
+* The :ref:`Osimis WebViewer plugin <osimis_webviewer>` (now deprecated)

+
+Step 5: Configure Orthanc
+-------------------------
+
+Orthanc is configured through a `JSON <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON>`__ configuration file and comes with a default configuration that is suitable for quick testing. 
+However, at some point, you might probably need to customize the settings.
+
+1. **Locate the Configuration Files**
+
+   The Windows configuration is split under multiple configuration files and are typically stored in ``C:\Program Files\Orthanc\Configuration\``.
+   ``orthanc.json`` is the main configuration file.  Its complete documentation is available `here <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/hg/orthanc/file/tip/OrthancServer/Resources/Configuration.json>`__.
+   Each :ref:`plugin <plugins>` has its own configuration file documented in the plugin documentation.
+
+.. image:: ../images/win-quick-start-config-files.png
+            :align: center
+            :width: 40%
+
+2. **Edit the Configuration File**
+
+   To edit a configuration file, you must start your editor with ``Run as administrator``.  
+   We recommend to edit your configuration file with an editor such as `Notepad++ <https://notepad-plus-plus.org/>`_.
+   It shall warn you that this file can be edited only by an admin, and will suggest you to restart Notepad++ as an admin such that you'll be
+   able to save it.
+
+   Configure settings such as:
+   
+   * **HTTP Server Port**: ``"HttpPort": 8042`` (default is 8042)
+   * **DICOM Server Port**: ``"DicomPort": 4242`` (default is 4242)
+   * **Database Storage Path**: ``"StorageDirectory": "OrthancStorage"``
+   Save your changes.
+
+   **Remark 1:** When specifying paths under Microsoft Windows,
+   backslashes (i.e. ``\``) should be either escaped by doubling them (as
+   in ``\\``), or replaced by forward slashes (as in ``/``).
+
+   **Remark 2:** In JSON, every ``{}`` and every ``,`` counts !  Orthanc will refuse to
+   start if the file is not in a valid JSON format.  There are numerous online JSON validators to validate your
+   JSON.
+
+3. **Restart Orthanc service**
+
+   To take the configuration changes into account, Orthanc must be restarted.  This is done through the
+   ``services`` panel (type the ``Windows`` key and search for ``services``).  Locate Orthanc and right click ``Restart``
+
+
+.. image:: ../images/win-quick-start-services.png
+            :align: center
+            :width: 70%
+
+4. **Check it is running correctly**
+
+   Open the User Interface at `http://localhost:8042/ui/app/ <http://localhost:8042/ui/app/>`_ to validate that Orthanc is running correctly after your changes.
+   If not, you should check the :ref:`Orthanc logs <log>` in ``C:\\Program Files\\Orthanc Server\\Logs``.
+
+
+Next steps
+----------
+
+Now that you know how to configure Orthanc, here are a few suggested sections to continue your exploration:
+
+* :ref:`Connect Orthanc to a DICOM modality <configure-modality>`
+* Connect a DICOMWeb client e.g. :ref:`Osirix <integrate-osirix-using-dicomweb>`
+* Learn to use the Orthanc Rest API :ref:`Rest API <rest>`
+* Start to customize Orthanc through :ref:`Lua scripting <lua>`
+* Extend Orthanc through a :ref:`Python plugin <python-plugin>`
+* And learn much more by reading the :ref:`Orthanc book <orthanc-book>`
