## Get started

1. **Download and open [TryOmarchy.exe](https://github.com/omacom/try-omarchy-windows/releases/latest/download/TryOmarchy.exe).** The launcher is about 10 MB and is signed by Brandon South. You can check the signature in the file's **Properties > Digital Signatures** tab.
2. **Choose where to keep Omarchy.** The default is `%LOCALAPPDATA%\TryOmarchy`. Setup may enable Windows Hypervisor Platform and request one restart. It then downloads and verifies the graphics runtime and guest image, about 2 GB in total.
3. **Set up your own account, or pick the quick start.** Your own account is the default. The quick start signs in as `omarchy` / `omarchy` with no setup. Once the desktop opens, press **Super+Space** for the Omarchy menu and **Super+K** to see the keybindings.

The app then downloads and verifies the graphics runtime and guest image, about 2 GB in total, and starts Omarchy. Omarchy's setup asks for your username and password; the quick start skips that form and signs in as `omarchy` / `omarchy`. Once the desktop opens, press **Super+Space** for the Omarchy menu and **Super+K** to see the keybindings.

## Install and update

Download [TryOmarchy.exe](https://github.com/omacom/try-omarchy-windows/releases/latest/download/TryOmarchy.exe) (~10 MB, [SHA256](https://github.com/omacom/try-omarchy-windows/releases/latest/download/TryOmarchy.exe.sha256)) and open it. First run asks where to store the virtual machine, graphics runtime, and downloads. Use the default Local AppData location or choose another local drive or folder. If Windows Hypervisor Platform is not enabled, setup asks permission to enable it and restarts once. The app then downloads the GPU runtime (a portable [WINQ-EMU](https://github.com/cmspam/winq-emu) tree, ~84 MB) and the Omarchy image (~2 GB), both SHA256-verified. Then choose an account. Your own account is preselected and uses Omarchy's setup form to pick a username and password. The quick start skips that form and signs in as `omarchy` / `omarchy`. Later launches open Settings before boot unless you choose a direct-launch shortcut.

Releases are Authenticode-signed by **Brandon South** through Azure Artifact Signing with a Microsoft identity-verified certificate. Windows shows that name as the verified publisher. Check it in the file's Properties > Digital Signatures tab or run `Get-AuthenticodeSignature .\TryOmarchy.exe` in PowerShell; the SignerCertificate subject should read `CN=Brandon South`. A publisher change will be announced in the changelog.
