Thanks

Hello,

for the sake of simplicity I’d suggest to use Latest release | AdoptOpenJDK - Open source, prebuilt OpenJDK binaries, which provides Installation packages, which can be installed like any other software on Windows (.exe or .msi installation packages available), while at http://openjdk.java.net/ you’ll find only ZIP archives (as far as I evaluated that site). In addition JRE’s are also available at AdoptOpenJDK, while everything from http://openjdk.java.net/ is full JDK packages.

If you consider to use AdoptOpenJDK go with the hotspot releases and (my personal taste) use this Version 11 LTS JRE MSI Install Package

Hope that helps
