Installing Visual Studio Code On All Version
Of Windows Operating System
Which is the best source code editor available right now? Without no doubt, we can say that it’s
Visual Studio code or simply VS code. VS code is an open-source code editor developed by
Microsoft for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS platforms.
It has built-in support for TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js and almost all programing
language/library/framework based plugins are available in VS studio right now. Debugging,
embedded Git control, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, etc. are some of
the other features.
VS code Insiders
VS code insiders edition is nothing but the beta version of VS code. That is we get the latest
features and bug fixes in VS code insiders edition first. But it needs to pay attention that the new
features may be unstable and have bugs in it. This version allows us to test the new features,
extensions and we can also report the issues/bugs in it. It won’t allow us to upgrade from VS code
Insiders to VS code stable easily. We need to install the VS code stable version separately. We can
also install both VS code and VS code insiders edition in our system if we prefer.
Here we are going to install the stable version of VS code on our Windows system.
STEPS
✓ Download the Setup File
VS code can be simply installed on Windows 10 with the setup file. So we need to download the
setup file from the official website.

Run the VS code Setup Wizard
So the VS code Setup Wizard is downloaded successfully and we need to run it. Run the file by
referring to the screenshots provided below.
Close All Other Applications
At first, it recommends that we need to close all other application before the VS code installation
starts. It is not mandatory.
Accept the License Agreement
In this step, read the license agreement and choose whether we accept it or not. But the installation
continues only after we accept the agreement.

Select the Installation Location
Choose the location in our system to install the VS code. If we are not bothering about the location,
go with the default location. But, at least 203.4 MB of free disk space is required in the selected
location.

destination or skip creating shortcuts.
