+###Windows
+
+## Qt
+
+Download the Qt online installer for Windows from [qt-project.org](http://qt-project.org/downloads).
+While installation you have to assemble your Qt toolchain. Take the most recent version of Qt compiled with MinGW. 
+Select "Tools" to install the MinGW compiler package itself alongside Qt. By doing this you don't have to bother with installing one manually.
+The following steps assumes that Qt is installed at "C:\Qt". If you decide to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.
+
+## MinGW
+
+If you installed MinGW alongside Qt you can skip this step.
+
+Download the MinGW installer for Windows from [sourceforge.net](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/).
+Make sure to install MSYS (a minimalistic set of unix tools for windows) and TODO.
+
+## System Path
+
+For some tasks it might be useful to use the Windows terminal. Thus you should add Qt/MinGW binaries to the system path to easily use them. 
+Open Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> .... TODO
+
+## Cloning the Repository
+
+Clone the repository (https://github.com/tux3/qTox.git) with your prefered Git client. [SmartGit](http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/) is very nice for this task.
+
+## Tox Core
+
+[jenkins.libtoxcore.so](http://jenkins.libtoxcore.so/job/libtoxcore-win32-i686/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/libtoxcore-win32-i686.zip) provides a prebuild package of Tox Core. 
+Download this package and extract its content to "path/to/qTox/libs". You may have to create the folder "libs".
