What is the first step to install Falcon on Windows using the GUI?

To successfully install Falcon on Windows using the graphical user interface (GUI), launching the sensor installer is indeed the first step. This step is critical because the sensor installer is the executable file that initiates the installation process for the Falcon sensor on the system. It is the primary interface through which the remaining installation steps will be carried out, including any necessary configurations and the actual installation of the Falcon software.

The importance of this step cannot be overstated, as without launching the installer, the process cannot proceed to the subsequent phases, such as modification of system settings or entering administrator credentials, which are typically prompted during the installation process. The installer manages these requirements to ensure a smooth and successful deployment of the Falcon software.
