    Hi, I am NEW NEW to WordPress and so confused at the moment. I am currently trying to download WordPress to my PC Windows 10 64Bit.
    I know I need to download MySQL & PHP and have read the install guidelines and watch some videos also to learn what to do. But where do you suggest I get that software and is WAMP or Bitnami the best? or is something better recommended?
    Thank you

    Local by Flywheel. It’s free and after the 1st large download, you can spin up a WP site in seconds.

    Thank you. Can you tell me why you choose that over the WAMP or Bitnami or others suggested? Besides it being free?
    Once I download Flywheel, is there anything else I have to do? or can I just download WP and start?
    Thank you

    I use it and it’s incredibly easy for local dev work.

    When you download and install Local By Flywheel and start it for the first time, you’ll see a “install wordpress” button. Click it and it all happens.
