How To set up Wordpress on your localhost

So, my posts haven't been very serious lately and since apparently this is suppose to be an educational blog for people, not just writing what I think as I go along.
I've been having issues with my desktop, mostly involving the computer not wanting to make directories and various other issues. Since there are only a few more days left before the final review I decided to restart everything on my laptop, I'll try my best to explain everything that I did a little better than I have been.

My computer stats:
OS: Windows 7
Model:  Gateway NE56R03h
CPU: Intel B820
500 GB HDD

Step 1:
Download WampSever Program onto your computer.
Extract file into whatever place you want (I chose /downloads because it was in there anyway)

Step 2:
When extracted, click on the pink icon. Mine says "wampserver2.5-Apache-2.4.9-Mysql-5.6.17-php5.5.12-32b" But it will vary depending on your computer model and capacity. This will bring you to a set-up menu which will ask you a few simple questions and the usual agree to terms and conditions to install.

Step 3:
Once installed, the program will run and that is fine, just exit out. Then we move on to Wordpress (install link here) after it is downloaded, extract the file into C:/wamp/www, which the wampserver program made for us. Now comes the strange part, you will now go into the wordpress folder and cut everything and paste it outside the wordpress folder into the /www folder.

Step 4:
Go to your browser and type in "localhost" into your address bar, a install screen will welcome you and simply follow the instructions, you will notice that at one point it will not continue, displaying an error screen, thats okay, now minimize the browser and click on the "show hidden icons triangle at the bottom of the screen near your time, you will see a W icon that may be orange green or red, click on the icon and a menu will come up, click the last option if it says "put online", however if it says "put offline" disregard that last instruction.

Step 5:
Click on the W icon and go into the option "phpMyAdmin". Your browser will pop up and it will take you to your localhost/phpMyAdmin. Once you are in there go to 'databases' located near the top of the page, from here there is a text box offering the option of creating a new database, type in 'wordpress' and click create.

Step 6:
Now go back to the wordpress page in your browser, press the try again button and you should be on your way again. It will ask for a directory username and password, this is where you go back to your phpMyAdmin and look on the homepage. On the right you will notice that in the information it will say root@localhost (at least mine did) you will also notice an error at the bottom that says you have no password.

Step 7:
Go once again back to the wordpress browser page and put your new found information into the appropriate places. You are now free to go! Wordpress is now set up and you should have a working wordpress account on your localhost
