6) After selecting it, a Download Configuration Script button gets to appear. Click on it to download the software to your computer.
7) The files get saved to your Downloads folder. If required, move it to the more appropriate folder or drag it to the desktop for frequent use.

10) A File Explorer page gets open automatically and you need to log in.
