Start by working right through the tutorial at railstutorial.org (which is free to use online). You can work through this in the cloud so you don't need to worry about installing anything on your machine. When you have done that then my recommendation is to not even try developing Rails on Windows, either run a Linux (eg Ubuntu) virtual machine inside windows or even better dual boot the machine with Ubuntu and Windows. I gather some have had success with Windows but the vast majority use Linux or Mac and you will find it much more difficult to get help on Win. Install ruby and rails using rvm or rbenv.
