How do I install a new font (Open Sans) in Windows 10?

The following method (seen on web pages within Microsoft Community) does not work:

Method 1:

To install a font, follow these steps:

  • Press Windows +R

  • Type the following command, and then click OK: %windir%\fonts

  • On the File menu, click Install New Font.

The reason for this is that in Control Panel - All Control Panel Items - Fonts, the only options available on the File menu are Create Shortcut (greyed out), Delete, Rename, Properties and Close.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
