Hi,
Simply because the express desktop will usually install most of what I
need. As I also need special packages and libraries for programming
in python, I usually add those after. I just got used to do it like
and as I often do the install on multiple computers, I find it a
little bit faster.

Hello Nicolas,
Thanks for those instructions, likely will save me considerable
time. Your instructions seem quite straightforward but just curious
why you would not skip the express desktop install and go straight to
the advanced install directly?
Thanks again…

Greetings again,
Thanks for the comments again.
1. Regarding the versions, things are not actually as I imagine.
My assumption that higher numbers indicate a newer version
appears to be incorrect. I presume this is documented
somewhere and will try to sort through all that when I get
time. This is a good example of why I am reluctant to wade
into the upgrade end of the pool. Workload well out of
proportion to the presumed benefits.
The Osgeo4w installer makes this easy for you.
1. Where is the logic here - "so actually it would not be a "step
backwards" to go from 2.8 to 2.18."? Sorry to be difficult
but why does QGIS versioning need to be studied, when it could
easily be intuitive?
They are not numbers. Logic is found here:

1.
2. Will osgeo4w install an LTR?
I believe the express install will only install the latest stable
3.x version (select Express Desktop Install. The Express Web-GIS
install option is for a web server). The Advance Osgeo will add
options.
a) Select "Advanced Install"
b) Select "Install from the Internet"
c) Select the Root Directory (C:\OSGeo4W64 is suggested. I would
not change it. If you do, make sure you have no space " "or funny
character like in "c:\José Qgis installation"). This is where the
program file will be placed.
d) Select Install for "All Users" and "Create icon on Desktop" and
"Start Menu".
e) Local Package Directory will be offered.
"C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp" . Don't need to change it.
That is where the installation files will be downloaded.
f) Select the Internet Connection. Default is "Direct Connection".
g)Choose a Download site. Default is http:/download.osgeo.org.
h) Look at the final screen shot I sent you. I you select
"desktop", you will see current version number (if installed) and
the new version number. Select "qgis: QGIS Desktop" for 3x or
"qgis: qgis-ltr-full." for 2.x. Or both. Other packages will be
selected for you (like Saga, Grass.) Do not deselect them. You
will also need to accept all licences during the install and you
will probably be asked to add extra packages along the way. Accept
them.
For me, the normal procedure on a new computer is to start with an
Express Desktop Install. Then, I do an "advance Install" to add
extra packages or different versions of QGIS.
