+To set up on Windows, first make sure you have [installed `containerd`](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md#installing-containerd-on-windows) then run the following in PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+$Version="1.2.1" # update to your version of choice
+# the following is based on amd64, for other architectures, see release page
+curl.exe -L https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl/releases/download/v$Version/nerdctl-$Version-windows-amd64.tar.gz -o nerdctl-$Version-windows-amd64.tar.gz
+tar.exe xvf nerdctl-$Version-windows-amd64.tar.gz
+Copy-Item .\nerdctl.exe $Env:ProgramFiles\containerd -Force

+If you already added `$Env:ProgramFiles\containerd` in the `PATH`, you should have `nerdctl` accessible from anywhere now:
+
+```powershell
+nerdctl --version
