+This guide was written for Windows Users using PuTTY
+
+In order to setup SSH access to a linux machine by keys you need to paste in the public key on the linux machine in a file located in /home/yourusername/.ssh/authorized_keys 
+
+To get that public key you need to generate a private key first.
+
+It’s important that you don’t share your private key. Your public key can be shared without any issues. You only need one private key to SSH to multiple machines.
+
+
+## 1.0 Best Practices
+Only use one private key per physical machine. Public key however can be on many Linux machines. If you have a Desktop and a Laptop for example. They both should have their own private keys. However their public keys should be on each of the Linux machines you want to access.
+
+
+## 1.1 Generating Public Private Key Pair
+
+Download putty somewhere on the Internet and install it. Personally I use ninite.com, check PuTTY, download, then run the installer.
+
+After putty is installed search for PutTTYgen in Windows and run it.
+
