Why install Telegram Desktop on Windows

When you download Telegram for Windows you turn your PC into a full extension of your phone. Unlike phone-tethered apps, Telegram Desktop runs independently: you can switch off your handset, leave the laptop open and keep receiving messages in real time. Because the history lives in an encrypted cloud, signing in on Windows instantly restores every old conversation — no transfers, no manual backup.

Supported version and system requirements

This page distributes Telegram Desktop 6.2.3, published by the official team. It supports Windows 10 (build 1809 or later) and Windows 11 on x64 processors. On older PCs running Windows 7 or 8.1, use a legacy build or open Telegram Web instead.

How to install step by step

  1. Get the official installer. Press the download button above to receive the verified tsetup.exe package.
  2. Run tsetup.exe. Double-click the file and follow the wizard. Choose English on the first screen and pick an install folder.
  3. Confirm your account. Enter your phone number and approve the login via SMS or another signed-in Telegram device.
  4. Let chats sync. Within seconds every channel, group and chat appears on your PC — no manual restore required.

Desktop-only features worth knowing

  • Sidebar with custom chat folders for work, study and channels.
  • Adaptive dark mode and fully themeable colours.
  • Drag-and-drop file sharing straight from the desktop.
  • HD voice and video calls with screen sharing.
  • Bots, polls, scheduled and silent messages.

Security and updates

The app checks for updates automatically and applies security patches whenever Telegram ships a new release. You can also verify manually in Settings → Advanced → Check for updates. Never download Telegram Desktop from untrusted sites — always use official channels or a portal like this that points to the original package.

How Windows differs from other editions

The Windows build shares the same account data as Telegram for macOS, iPhone, Android and Telegram Web. The difference is the experience: on a PC you get shortcuts, multiple windows and a physical keyboard — ideal for long, busy conversations.

Telegram for Windows — frequently asked questions

Is Telegram Desktop free on Windows?

Yes. Telegram is completely free for personal use and shows no ads. A few optional extras are part of Telegram Premium, but the whole app works without it.

Do I need an account before installing on PC?

It's recommended. Create your account on a phone first so the confirmation SMS arrives easily and your history syncs to the desktop instantly.

What's the difference between Telegram Desktop and Portable?

Desktop installs normally and integrates with shortcuts, notifications and startup. Portable runs from a USB stick with no installation — handy on shared PCs.
