Could some one please help a newbie once again  [basically windows newbie, but windows newbie could be using a bootable linux drive so some extras ]

Once this is written, I shall search the net and get the links etc and make a blog or request mods to do a stick

Yes I have read many posts, but I am looking for a ABSOLUTELY SIMPLE, NO nonsense , straight to the point help file

1. Choose this _____________bit coin client. [reason : Choice is good, but this is for a new bie , so just please state one single client here ]

2. Once the client is installed, create _____ addresses

3. Once that is done backup wallet - a wallet.dat file. In windows systems this is located at _______ (please fill in). In linux this is located at ____________; backup / copy to at least two other places NOT connected to the net ordinarily ... example USBs in your locker / under a mattress etc

3. Once wallet is backed up backup private key ; In windows systems this is located at _______ (please fill in). In linux this is located at ____________; backup / copy to at least two other places NOT connected to the net ordinarily ... example USBs in your locker / under a mattress etc

4. Once private key is backed up Remove private key from computer used on the internet . To achieve that     do ___________________ this  ...    then do __________________ this  .......

5. Once you removed your private key you can't spend / send your BTC money out , so IF you need to do that do __________________________ this

6. ................anything else ................________________________ do this

7. ................anything else ................________________________ do this


there could be steps in between too (example paper wallet)
