Didn't install any PDF Reader software on your Windows? Don't worry, you can still open PDF file in your web browsers such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Right click on your local PDF file, select "Open with...", choose Google Chrome program to open it. Google Chrome is not feature-packed, but it's a handy way to read PDF documents in your browser without running a separate application. It makes PDFs look like any other web page, aside from a toolbar that appears when you hover your cursor over the document.
