 ## Step 3: Setting up the Database
 Since this portion of the guide is operating-system specific, you will either need basic database knowledge or a bit of help. Below are the things that need to be configured.
+### General:
 - Configure root@localhost to have a blank password
 - Create a table in root named `server` and another named `global`
 - Import `09HDscape-server/server.sql` and `09HDscape-server/global.sql` into their respective tables
 - Start the database
 
+### Windows:
+- Download and install [xampp](https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html)
+- Start the `Apache` and `MySQL` modules
+- Navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
+- Create 2 new tables named `server` and `global`
+- Import `09HDscape-server/server.sql` and `09HDscape-server/global.sql` into their respective tables
+  - _Refer [here](https://www.thecodedeveloper.com/import-large-sql-files-xampp/) for help importing the `.sql` files_
+
 ## Step 4: Running the Server & Client
 - Run the management-server
   - In IntelliJ, navigate to `09HDscape-management-server/src/org/keldagrim/Main.java`, right click > Run
