Use these Windows guides to install RustDesk, package or deploy the Windows client, and handle MSI or portable elevation workflows in managed environments.

## Which Windows guide should you choose?

| Need | Best guide |
| --- | --- |
| Standard Windows client install | [Windows client overview](/docs/en/client/windows/) |
| Managed deployment, silent install, or packaging | [MSI](/docs/en/client/windows/msi/) |
| Portable mode with elevation support | [Windows Portable Elevation](/docs/en/client/windows/windows-portable-elevation/) |

## Windows quick answers

- Use the standard installer for most end users.
- Use the MSI guide for enterprise rollout and scripted deployment.
- Use portable elevation when you need admin prompts in portable mode.
- If you are self-hosting, combine these guides with [Client Deployment](/docs/en/self-host/client-deployment/) for server-side rollout settings.
