+### Building and serving your own signed fleetd-base.msi installer for Windows
+
+Only signed fleetd installers can be used during the Autopilot MDM enrollment flow. If you are
+developing/testing logic that needs to run during that flow, you will need to build and serve a
+signed fleetd-base.msi installer.
+
+You will also need to serve the `meta.json` for the fleetd-base.msi installer. 
+
+#### Pre-requisites
+
+- An ngrok URL for serving the `fleetd-base.msi` installer and the `meta.json` file under the `stable/` path.
+
+#### Building a signed fleetd-base.msi installer from `edge`
+
+We have a [GitHub workflow](../../.github/workflows/build-fleetd-base-msi.yml) that can build a signed
+fleetd-base installer using fleetd components from any of the release channels we support. You'll
+most likely use `edge` since we release fleetd components built from an RC branch to `edge` for
+QA before an official release.
+
+To use the workflow, follow these steps:
+
+1. Trigger the build and codesign fleetd-base.msi workflow at https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/actions/workflows/build-fleetd-base-msi.yml.
+2. Click the run workflow drop down and fill in `"edge"` for the first 3 fields. Fill in the ngrok URL
+  from the "Pre-requisites" above in the last field.
+3. Click the Run workflow button. This will generate two files:
+  - `meta.json`
+  - `fleet-base.msi`
+4. Download them to your workstation.

 ## MDM setup and testing
 
 To run your local server with the MDM features enabled, you need to get certificates and keys.
