When i try to access http://localhost:8080/magento its show 4.4 error and when I try to access http://localhost:8080/magento/setup/#/landing its show

From 2.4 version, you need to install via Command line using composer, refer this guide for more detail: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/install-gde/composer.html

@Faizanahmea223The official documentation recommends Magento installation on a Linux distribution (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS/RHEL). Alternatively, you can use WSL2/Docker on Windows.

We can install Magento2 on windows:

There are following steps which needs to perform:

• Step 1: Install Xampp and Composer Softwares
• Step 2: Install elasticsearch on Windows OS
• Step 3: Configure php.ini
• Step 4: Create database for Magento 2
• Step 5: Install Magento 2.4.2
• Step 6: Install sample data for Magento 2.4.2

To configure Magento locally on Windows, ensure your XAMPP stack meets Magento requirements. Then install Magento via the command line providing your desired base URL, database credentials, and admin account details. Enable mod_rewrite and access admin and front-end at designated ports.
