 ## Setting Up SSH Client on Windows
 
-### Step 1: Install OpenSSH Client Feature
+### Install OpenSSH Client Feature
 
 Windows 10 and later versions include an optional feature called "OpenSSH Client" that you can install via the Settings app or PowerShell.
 
 1. **Using Settings App:**
+
    - Open Settings (Press `Windows key + I`), then go to "Apps" > "Optional Features".
    - Click on "Add a feature", search for "OpenSSH Client", and click "Install".
-
 2. **Using PowerShell:**
+
    - Open PowerShell as an administrator.
    - Run the following command:
      ```powershell
      Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Client
      ```
 
-### Step 2: Generate SSH Key Pair
-
-If you haven't already generated an SSH key pair, you can do so using the `ssh-keygen` command in PowerShell. Run the following command:
-
-```powershell
-ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
-```
-
-This command will prompt you to choose a location to save the key pair and optionally set a passphrase.
-
-### Step 3: Copy Public Key to Remote Server
-
-Once the key pair is generated, you need to copy the public key to the remote server. You can use tools like `ssh-copy-id` or manually copy the public key.
-
-### Step 4: Test SSH Connection
-
-You can now test your SSH connection to the remote server using the `ssh` command in PowerShell:
-
-```powershell
-ssh username@remote_host
-```
-
-If everything is set up correctly, you should be logged in to the remote server without being prompted for a password.
-
-### Step 5: Optional Configuration
-
-You can configure your SSH client by editing the `~/.ssh/config` file. This file allows you to set options such as default usernames, identities, and SSH server configurations.
-
-
-You're all set! You can now securely connect to remote servers using SSH without having to enter a password each time.
