title: Installing the latest version of mingw-w64 on Windows
body: <p>I am desperately trying to install the <strong>latest version</strong> of mingw-w64 to get acess to gcc 10 on windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>I used the online installer for mingw-w64 in the past, but it is still stuck in 2018 on 8.1.0 and seems to be abandoned.</p>
  
  <p>So i tried installing it manually. </p>
  
  <p>On SourceForge or the GitHub Mirror you seem to only get a chunk of code without any clear instructions on what do do, how to build and install it. The only installation instructions that i managed to find required you to already have a working gcc installed (very helpful if that is what you want to get installed in the first place).</p>
  
  <p>On their website and wiki there is a precompiled binary package mentioned. But the only one that i could find was horribly outdated as well.</p>
  
  <p>Comparing this with the installation process of clang or the microsoft build tools, it actually blows my mind how something as basic as installation can be this confusing.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe it's just me missing the obvious , but how do you actually install this thing?</p>
