+# Manual Windows Install
+
+This guide is specifically for people who are on a Windows machine using [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about) with Docker.
+
+Scrutiny is made up of three components: an influxdb Database, a collector and a webapp/api. Docker will be used for
+the influxdb and webapp/API, the collector component will be facilitated by [Windows Task Scheduler](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/task-scheduler-start-page).
+
+> **NOTE:** If you are **NOT** using WSL with docker, then the easiest way to get started with [Scrutiny is the omnibus Docker image](https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny#docker).
+
+## InfluxDB and Webapp/API (Docker)
+
+1. Copy the [example.hubspoke.docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/blob/master/docker/example.hubspoke.docker-compose.yml) 
+file and delete the collector section near the bottom of the file.
+2. Run `docker-compose up -d` to verify that the DB and webapp are working correctly and once its completed, your webapp
+should be up and running but the dashboard will be empty (default location is `localhost:8080`)
+
+## Collector (Windows Task Scheduler)
+
+1. Download the latest `scrutiny-collector-metrics-windows-amd64.exe` from the [releases page](https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/releases) (under assets)
+2. On your windows host, open [Windows Task Scheduler](https://www.wikihow.com/Open-Task-Scheduler-in-Windows-10) as **Administrator**
+   1. In the **Start Menu** (Windows key), type `Task Scheduler` and then right click `Run as Administrator` to open
+3. On the status bar (under the `action` tab), click `Create Task...`
+4. A new window should open with the `General` Tab open, enter relevant information into the `Name` and `Description` fields
+   1. Under **Security Options** check:
+      1. **Run whether user is logged on or not**
+      2. **Run with highest privileges**
+5. Next, click the `Triggers` tab and then click `New...` (bottom left-hand side of the window)
+6. Here you can set how often you want this task to run, example settings are the following:
+   1. **Settings:**
+      1. `Daily`, start at `TODAYS_DATE` `12:00:00 AM`, Recur every `1` days,
+   2. **Advanced Settings:**
+      1. Repeat Task every: `1 hour` for a duration of `Indefinitely`
+      2. Stop task if it runs longer than: `30 minutes`
+   3. Click Ok when satisfied with your schedule
+   > **NOTE:** The above settings will trigger the task **every day at midnight** and then **run every hour after that** (modify as needed)
+7. Next, click the `Actions` tab and then click `New...` (bottom left-hand side of the window)
+   1. **Action Settings:**
+      1. In the **Program/Script** field, put: `scrutiny-collector-metrics-windows-amd64.exe`
+      2. In the **Add arguments (optional)** field, put: `run --api-endpoint "http://localhost:8080" --config collector.yaml`
+         > **NOTE:** 
+         > * Make sure that you put the correct port number (as specified in the docker-compose file) for the webapp (default is `8080`)
+         > * The `--config` param is optional and is not needed if you just want to use the default collector config, see 
+      [example.collector.yaml](https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/blob/master/example.collector.yaml) for more info on the collector config.
+      3. In the **Start in (optional)** field, put: FOLDER_PATH_TO_YOUR `scrutiny-collector-metrics-windows-amd64.exe` file
+          > **NOTE:** Must be exact and do not include `scrutiny-collector-metrics-windows-amd64.exe` in the path
+      4. Click Ok when finished
+8. Next, click the `Conditions` tab and make sure that everything is unchecked (unless you want to specify otherwise)
+9. Next, click the `Settings` tab and check everything except for the last checkbox
+   1. **Examples for the following settings:**
+      1. If the task fails, restart every: `5 minutes`
+      2. Attempt restart up to: `3` times
+      3. Stop the task if it runs longer than `1 hour`
+10. Next, once satisfied with everything, click Ok
+11. Then, find your newly created task (by its name) in the scheduler task list and then manually run it (right click it and then click `Run`)
+12. Finally, refresh your dashboard after a minute or two and your drive information should have populated the webapp dashboard.
