+## Install tests
+ * install a **previous version** on a clean machine (a clean machine doesn't have the `%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys` folder)
+ * open the Settings and for each module change at least one option
+ * open the FancyZones editor and create two custom layouts:
+    * a canvas layout with 2 zones, use unicode chars in the layout's name
+    * one from grid template using 4 zones and splitting one zone
+    * apply the custom canvas layout to the primary desktop
+    * create a virtual desktop and apply the custom grid layout
+    * if you have a second monitor apply different templates layouts for the primary desktop and for the second virtual desktop
+ * install the new version (it will uninstall the old version and install the new version)
+ - [ ] verify the settings are preserved and FancyZones configuration is still the same
+ - [ ] test installing as SYSTEM (LocalSystem account)
+   * Download PsTools from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec
+   * Run PowerToys installer with psexec tool `psexec.exe -sid <path_to_installer_exe`
+   * Brief check if all modules are working
+
+ * PER-USER and PER-MACHINE TESTS:
+   * Install **previous version** on a clean machine and update with new per-machine version. Ensure that it is installed in Program files and that registry entries are under **HKLM**/Software/Classes/PowerToys. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly.
+   * Try installing per-user version over already installed per-machine version and ensure that proper error message is shown.
+   * Remove PowerToys and install per-user version. Ensure that it is installed in <APPDATA>/Local/PowerToys and that registry entries are under **HKCU**/Software/Classes/PowerToys. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly.
+   * Create a new user and install per-user version there as well. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly. Ensure that changing settings for one user does not change settings of other user.
