- 1). Visit Microsoft's website to download the XPS viewer software. You can find a download page by searching for "XPS" under the Windows Hardware Developer Central section. Click "Download the Microsoft XPS Essentials Pack" to continue. Alternatively, you can select to download only the viewer, but you will be provided with fewer features. Save the file, and when it has finished downloading, click "Run" or "Open" to begin the installation.
- 2). Walk through the steps in the installer, which will copy the files to your computer. The XPS file viewer, document writer, thumbnail handlers, filters and print drivers will all be installed. You must read through the Microsoft Software License Terms and agree to them for the installation to continue.
- 3). Test the installation. Open any printable file, such as a document, image or website, and click "File" at the top of the screen, then "Print." Select the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" as the printer, and click "Print." The program will then ask you where to save the file, and after a moment of rendering, an XPS file will be created.
