## How ComfyUI Model & Task Routes works on Windows

Ready-to-follow node recipes pairing top diffusion models with specific generation tasks and Windows GPU memory tiers. Exact loader, sampler, and resolution settings for every combination of model architecture and workflow goal.

Every page in this directory focuses on practical local execution on Windows 10 and Windows 11, keeping your checkpoints, LoRAs, and generated outputs entirely on your own SSD.

Start by grabbing the current Windows build from [/download](https://comfy.ink/download), or browse the guides and node blueprints linked below.

## Key workflow principles

- Keep large `.safetensors` and `.gguf` weights inside organized `models/` subfolders or map shared directories through [extra_model_paths.yaml](https://comfy.ink/install/extra-model-paths-yaml-setup).
- Match your model precision (FP16, FP8 e4m3fn, or GGUF Q4/Q8) to your card's VRAM tier so sampling stays in GPU memory without paging to disk.
- Drag any generated PNG directly onto the [ComfyUI Studio](https://comfy.ink/studio) canvas to reload its exact node wiring, seed, and sampler values.

## FAQ

### Where do I download ComfyUI for Windows to use routes?

Download the Windows desktop installer or portable package directly from [/download](https://comfy.ink/download) on this site.

### Does ComfyUI run 100% locally without a cloud subscription?

Yes. Once installed on Windows with your local checkpoints in `models/`, ComfyUI executes every node graph locally on your GPU with zero per-image fees.
