# Getting Started

This guide walks through installing the BlueFletch Windows Launcher, applying an initial configuration, and configuring Windows to use the Launcher as its shell.

### Before you begin installation:

1. **Windows Edition.** For the recommended Shell Launcher setup, the device must run **Windows 10/11 Enterprise** (or Education/IoT Enterprise) with the Shell Launcher feature available.
2. **Installer Files.** Contact the BlueFletch team to obtain:
   * Launcher MSI - (e.g., `BlueFletchLauncher-<version>-x64.msi`)&#x20;
   * Installer Script - `.\BFEWindowsLauncher_installationScript.ps1`
3. **Configuration File.** Prepare a `launcher.json` for the device. This is optional during initial installation and can be defined or modified after app installation. Reference the [Configuration Guide](https://docs.bluefletch.com/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/bluefletch-launcher-for-windows/getting-started/configuration-guide) page for details.&#x20;
4. **User Installation Type**. Identify the user installation type that matches your Windows Account type. See [Supported Windows Account Types](https://docs.bluefletch.com/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/bluefletch-launcher-for-windows/getting-started/installation/supported-windows-account-types) for more information.
5. **BFE Agent Browser Extension (optional).** Only required for badge login to auto fill credentials. Contact the BlueFletch team to obtain:
   * Extension ID
   * Target CRX File URL

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bluefletch.com/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/bluefletch-launcher-for-windows/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
