 * Ah, you’re trying to run a what is called a local host install of wordpress… 
   you will need to install [XAMPP](https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html) first.
   Be sure to get the windows version. Then you will install WordPress within the
   XAMPP server.

 * Yes, I’ve been developing and maintaining wordpress sites for ten years. If you
   want to run WordPress on your local windows machine you will need XAMPP otherwise
   it will not work. Your computer does not support web technology’s until you install
   XAMPP.

   will walk you through the entire set up process.

 * Again, install XAMPP for windows. Then the files will run on your browser without
   problems.

 * WordPress code is all written. You need to install XAMPP and run the WP installer
   within the XAMPP server once you have it set up. Then you’ll be able to access
   WordPress from your local machine!
