Due to the differences in the platform, from mobile to desktop,installing WhatsApp on a PC isn’t going to be the same process.However, it’s just as easy. All you need to do is ensure that you have permission to install programs to the PC beforehand and you’re running Windows 8 or higher.
1 To begin with you need to visit the WhatsApp website,specifically the Download section: www.whatsapp.com/download. Here you can see the screen split into two sections: the left side for mobile devices and the right for desktop systems. Click the Green Download for Windows (64-bit) button to continue.
2 After clicking the button you’ll be asked to Save the file to your desktop, do so and wait for it to download. You can find the program executable in the Downloads folder of your home area on the PC. Just doubleclick the WhatsApp Setup program to start the installation.
3 The install is a little different to most other apps you may have downloaded in the past. After a short while WhatsApp asks you to scan a QR code with your phone’s version of WhatsApp. You will need to open WhatsApp, tap on the three vertical dots in the top right, followed by WhatsApp Web.
4 There are full instructions on the WhatsApp mobile version as to how to scan the QR code and once it has successfully recognised it, the PC version will automatically be loaded up, complete with your account information and contacts.
