Windows how to create a CSR

Step 1: Open up CertManager certlm.msc and go to Personal

Step 3: Select Proceed without enrollment policy

Step 4: Change the Template to Legacy Key

Step 5: Select Properties

Step 6: Enter the details under the tab Subject.

The country must be included along with the common name, and we recommend the DNS value. Any additional values are not imperative.

Step 7: Private Key 

Please select Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider.

The key size minimum supported is 2048, but 4096 is a good choice.

If you need to export the certificate later, please don't forget to select make private key exportable.

Step 8: Select ok and then next, and you will be asked where to save your CSR.

 

Step 9: Open the file and paste your CSR to the portal to request your certificate.
