One-click install

Install the PlayBound Launcher, then find Star Wars: The Old Republic and press Install. The launcher downloads the official release, unpacks it and creates a shortcut. This is the fastest route and it never uses third-party mirrors.
Alternatively, download Star Wars: The Old Republic directly from the official site at https://www.swtor.com/. Always download from the official source — third-party mirrors of free games are a common malware vector.

Run the downloaded installer and follow the prompts. If Windows SmartScreen warns about an unrecognised publisher, that is normal for open-source projects without a paid code-signing certificate — choose More info, then Run anyway.
Launch the game and look at the settings menu before your first session — resolution and control defaults are worth checking. Star Wars: The Old Republic needs roughly 75.0 GB of free disk space.
