  • Extract the zip file

  • Move the extracted folder to my C:\Program Files

  • Modify the default.ini in the config folder
    I match the port to the version of the install
    http_port = 3902
    This one is for version 9.0.2

  • using nssm (https://nssm.cc/) I run the following command
    nssm install _grafana.9.0.2
    Adding the _ underscore helps it bubble up to in Services
