ssl - How to install OpenSSL in windows 10?

Question

I have a question about how and what is the version of OpenSSl that I must install in Windows to later create certificates. Install a one version (openssl-1.0.2d-fips-2.0.10) found in SourceForge but it does not generate the files correctly. There is also the official website https://www.openssl.org, but I do not know how to install it and how, so that when it comes to generating the keys and .pem file, it works. Generate some environment variables that point to the folder where I unzipped the downloaded, I do not know if it is the correct way.

I also wanted to create OPEN SSL for Windows 10. An easy way of getting it done without running into a risk of installing unknown software from 3rd party websites and risking entries of viruses, is by using the openssl.exe that comes inside your Git for Windows installation. In my case, I found the open SSL in the following location of Git for Windows Installation.

C:Program FilesGitusrinopenssl.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 explains how to use Microsoft Windows Default Tool and also OPEN SSL and explains the difference between them.
