Calculate the hash of the Monero binary with the command: `certUtil -hashfile monero-gui-win-x64-v0.16.0.2.zip SHA256` (if you downloaded a command-line only version, replace `monero-gui-win-x64-v0.16.0.2.zip` accordingly).
Change to the `Downloads` directory with the command: `cd Downloads`.
Choose a download location, click `Save`.
Click `Finish`.
Click `Import`.
Click `Save File`.
Compare the hash from the terminal with the one in the hash file. They should be the same (spaces can be ignored).
