(You will probably know if you're doing this see section 4.23.2 in the documentation. If you need to use an external DLL for GSSAPI authentication, that DLL may only be available in a 32-bit or 64-bit form, and that will dictate the version of PuTTY you need to use. (Not sure whether you want the 32-bit or the 64-bit version Read the FAQ entry.) We also publish the latest PuTTY installers for all Windows architectures as a free-of-charge download at the Microsoft Store they usually take a few days to appear there after we release them. It will run somewhat faster (in particular, the cryptography will be faster, especially during link setup), but it will consume slightly more memory. The 64-bit version (first released in 0.68) will only run if you have a 64-bit processor and a 64-bit edition of Windows (both of these things are likely to be true of any recent Windows PC). Download PuTTY for Windows 10, 7, 8/8. PuTTY doesn't require to run as a 64-bit application to work well, and having a 32-bit PuTTY on a 64-bit system isn't likely to cause you any trouble. It will run perfectly well on all processors and on all versions of Windows that PuTTY supports. On Windows 10, scroll down until you see 'PuTTY'. The menu looks different in each version of Windows. Click on Start menu> All Programs > PuTTY > PuTTYgen. We will provide detail steps to convert files on both operating systems Windows and Unix. Once installed, PuTTYgen will be ready to convert. If you're not sure, the 32-bit version is generally the safe option. Otherwise, you should be able to find the software from the Windows Start menu in the bottom left corner of the screen. Users must download the latest version of the app and install the entire suite.
