How to Install WinDbg to Read Memory and Minidump Files in Windows

1. Download the WinDbg version that corresponds to the OS that generated the dump file: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852365

2. If a shortcut is not created, launch WinDbg from the install location. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Debuggers\x64

3. Load the symbol map into WinDbg by going to File | Symbol File Path. Note that the path after C: is where the symbols will be stored locally: srv*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

4. Open the DMP file and wait for it to finish processing. Look all the way at the bottom for a line similar to this:
Probably caused by : ser2at64.sys ( ser2at64+7ce5 )

5. All done!
