- Right click the Windows start button,
- Click
Settings
- Click
Apps
- Click
Manage Optional Features
- First check to see if the
OpenSSH Client
is already installed by scrolling through the list. It should be alphabetical. If it's there, you don't need to do anything and can ignore the rest of this list. - Click
Add a feature
- Click
OpenSSH Client
- Click
Install
- It'll look like it's doing nothing, no popup or prompt, it just collapses it. But it's install it in the background.
- Click the
back arrow
in the title bar next toSettings
and wait for to finish installing. - Once it's done installing you may need to reboot. You can test it by opening a new PowerShell and typing
ssh
and press enter. If it works, you're good. Otherwise reboot.
That's all there is to it.
