In this article I will be going over where to download blender, and how to extract the files on to you computer. 
Where to download Blender
blender.org

To install Blender, download the appropriate package for your platform. The Windows version comes with an optional self-extracting installer, for other operating systems you can simply unpack the compressed file to the location of your choice.
For the self-extractor installer
  1. Run Blender.exe
  2. Welcome - Click Next
  3. License Agreement - Click I Agree
  4. Choose Components - Click Next to accept defaults
  5. Choose Location -  C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender
  6. Specify User Data - Select "Use Installation Directory" and click Next
  7. Setup Complete - Click Finish
  8. Make sure Blend starts up correctly and then close Blender.
For the .ZIP
  1. Right click the blender zip folder
  2. Choose Extract All
  3. Select location - C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender
  4. Click Extract All
  5. Open the directory where you extracted the folder and create a shortcut of the blender.exe to the desktop.
