How to use Kleopatra (Gpg4win) to verify Electrum signature \ stacker news ~bitcoin

Let me know if any stackers need help with this, or to check another program's signature.

Download Gpg4win:
- Navigate to the Gpg4win website: https://gpg4win.org/download.html.
- Click on the latest version of Gpg4win to download the installer.
Install Gpg4win:
- Open the downloaded installer file (gpg4win-x.x.x.exe).
- Follow the installation prompts. Make sure to include Kleopatra in the installation.

Download Electrum:
- Go to the official Electrum website: https://electrum.org/#download.
- Click on the Windows installer (electrum-x.x.x-setup.exe) to download it.
Download Signature File:
- Right below or next to the download link for the installer, you'll find a link to the signature file (electrum-x.x.x-setup.exe.asc). Click it to download the signature file. Make sure both files are saved in the same directory.

Launch Kleopatra:
- Open Kleopatra from your Start Menu.
Import Electrum's Signing Key:
- Electrum's public signing key needs to be imported into Kleopatra for verification. You can usually find instructions or the key itself on the Electrum website's download section.
- In Kleopatra, go to "File" > "Import Certificates" and navigate to the downloaded key file or paste the copied key text if directed to do so from the website.

Open Kleopatra:
- Ensure it's already running or open it via the Start Menu.
Verify the Signature:
- In File Explorer, navigate to the directory where the Electrum installer and the signature file are located.
- Right-click the signature file (electrum-x.x.x-setup.exe.asc) and select "More GpgEX options" > "Verify".
- Kleopatra will check the signature against the file. If everything matches, a verification result window will confirm the signature's validity.

Successful Verification: A message indicating that the signature is valid confirms the Electrum installer is genuine and has not been altered. You can proceed with the installation.
Failed Verification: If the verification fails, do not proceed. Ensure you've downloaded the correct signing key and files from official sources. If problems persist, seek assistance or download the files again.

After successful verification, double-click the Electrum installer (electrum-x.x.x-setup.exe) and follow the installation instructions to install Electrum on your Windows system.
