First of all, download the appropriate version of VS Code for your system.  The download link is: https://code.visualstudio.com/Download

On this download page, there are three different versions for Microsoft Windows. You will almost always want the 64-bit version:

• User Installer. Choose this version if you're not sure about the others.
• System installer. This installs VS Code for all users of the computer. It requires Administrator access.
• zip. This option doesn't require any installation and is great for placing on a USB stick, giving you a development environment you can take with you.
