On Windows, you need to place the `PDP7.exe` file you downloaded in [this tutorial](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp7#windows) in the VM folder.

Then you can double-click the file to launch the VM, no need to make it executable.
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1970/pdp7unix/#manuals) on the [main ! PDP7 Unix page](/1970s/1970/pdp7unix) to learn how to use it.
