Hello,
So far I've been using OpenSSL on Windows via the OpenSSL that comes bundled with XAMPP.
But what if I want to install OpenSSL myself on Windows? I could not find a way to do it directly from the official OpenSSL source.
That's because I want the newest OpenSSL version 3 instead of 1.1.1 that comes with XAMPP
How can I do it?
Thanks

I also wanted to use OpenSSL on Windows 10. An easy way to do it without running into the risk of installing unknown software from 3rd party websites and risking viruses, is by using the openssl.exe that comes inside your Git for Windows installation. In my case, I found the OpenSSL executable in the following location of the Git for Windows installation.
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\openssl.exe
If you also want instructions on how to use OpenSSL to generate and use certificates, here is a write-up on my blog. The step by step instructions first explain how to use Microsoft Windows Default Tool and also OpenSSL and explains the difference between them.
If you have chocolatey installed you can install openssl via a single command i.e.
choco install openssl
