Download the branch (Green "Code" button -> "download ZIP")
Unpack the downloaded ZIP file
Find "lisp" folder inside the unpacked "org" folder. Note the path to the "lisp" folder
If you don't have init file, create/open it using C-x C-f ~/.emacs (or .emacs/init.el if you already have that)
Add (setq load-path (append '("the/path/you/just/noted") load-path)) to your Emacs init file (on top of the file). Important: The \ in the Windows path should be replaced with /.
Add (require 'org) in the next line
Save the file C-x C-s
Reload Emacs
Try to run M-x org-version. Tell me what is written at the bottom of the Emacs window.

A user in reddit does not know how to install the branch on windows [1]. Need to add instructions for Windows users (no command line staff).
