step 1 : go to : https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software  and grab a copy of arduino IDE that suits
            to your computer processor architecture and windows platform.

step 2 : after installation,open arduino IDE, file > preferences and in additional board manager
              URLs : and copy <> past this link :

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damellis/attiny/ide-1.6.x-boards-manager/package_damellis_attiny_index.json

step 3 : click ok, and in tools  >  board  >  manager, install: attiny and close arduino IDE.

step 4 : head over to this https://protostack.com.au/2015/01/usbasp-windows-driver-version-3-0-7/      great site and download > install this driver for usb asp. (this driver is signed and , you don't have to a around to install.)

step 5 : open arduino IDE and go to tools > board > and scroll it down a little until you see
           ATtiny 25/45/85 and select that. (tools > board >  ATtiny 25/45/85 ).

now the arduino IDE is suitable to write codes to attiny85 chip.
