+To create a virtual environment on a Windows machine and run your Gradio app (`app.py`) after installing the dependencies listed in `requirements.txt`, follow these steps:
+
+### 1. **Open a Command Prompt or PowerShell window**
+
+- Press `Windows + R`, type `cmd`, and hit Enter.
+- Alternatively, search for "PowerShell" and open it.
+
+### 2. **Navigate to your project directory**
+
+Use the `cd` command to change directories to where your `app.py` and `requirements.txt` are located:
+
+```bash
+cd path\to\your\project
+```
+
+For example, if your project is located in `C:\Users\YourUser\projects\my-gradio-app`, you would run:
+
+```bash
+cd C:\Users\YourUser\projects\my-gradio-app
+```
+
+### 3. **Create a virtual environment**
+
+Run the following command to create a virtual environment called `venv`:
+
+```bash
+python -m venv venv
+```
+
+This will create a folder called `venv` that contains the virtual environment.
+
+### 4. **Activate the virtual environment**
+
+To activate the virtual environment, run:
+
+- On **Command Prompt**:
+
+    ```bash
+    venv\Scripts\activate
+    ```
+
+- On **PowerShell**:
+
+    ```bash
+    .\venv\Scripts\Activate
+    ```
+
+After activation, your prompt should change to show `(venv)` indicating that the virtual environment is active.
+
+### 5. **Install the required packages**
+
+Now that the virtual environment is activated, install the dependencies from `requirements.txt`:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+This will install all the packages listed in `requirements.txt` within your virtual environment.
+
+### 6. **Run your Gradio app**
+
+Once the installation is complete, you can run your Gradio app by executing:
+
+```bash
+python app.py
+```
+
+Your Gradio app should now be running, and you can open the provided URL (typically `http://127.0.0.1:7860`) in your browser to access it.
+
+### 7. **Deactivate the virtual environment**
+
+When you're done, you can deactivate the virtual environment by running:
+
+```bash
+deactivate
+```
+
+This will return you to your system's default Python environment.
