Open notepad, copy paste the public key, save the file as the vendors name .asc it will default save it as a .txt, you must manually put in the .asc

Ex. copy paste vendors name (Houseofspirit) save the file as houseofspirit.asc

I'm using gpgtools and you just copy it then open gpgtools and press paste

Open new text file, copy pgp key from vendors site. Paste it in the new text file. Then save file as youname.gpg an then you are ok
