===============

This was tested on Windows 10 with Python 3 as the default install. Which is the setup I recommend for you anyways. If you're using Python 2.7, consider this guide.

pip install opencv-contrib-python --upgrade

or without extra modules:

pip install opencv-python 

C:\> python
>>> import cv2
>>> print(cv2.__version__)
'3.4.0' # your version may be a newer one

Now you're ready to rock with OpenCV on your Windows
