There's this:

And this very useful one:
I’ve been out of touch with this for quite a while, but I see that people still use this, so I thought I’d update it some (while procrastinating PhD writing :-P). I’ve split the installer into two parts now, as the CLI and Toolchain are really quite independent. So, notes on the goods:
For everything, install defaults to C:\Particle
CLI Installer
Source
basically just installs NodeJS, the CLI itself, DFU-util, and downloads Zadig for your driver replacement pleasure. Puts everything in %…
This one in particular for DFU:
So it seems like some owners want to go slightly advanced but instructions for installing the DFU-driver is a little vague.
How to put your core in DFU-mode
Press on BOTH buttons
Release only the Reset button
Release the Mode button once the core start blinking yellow
This will be the dfu-mode
Pre-check!
If you have somehow done this process previously but is unable to use dfu-util successfully, you will need to uninstall the DFU-driver 1st
Put your core in DFU-mode
Ope…
So I'd say that there are quite some resources available, all of whom I've used successfully in the past. That said, if you've got any suggestions on how to improve the process, feel free to share.
As to getting it working, I can highly recommend the installer by Mumblepins, which has been really helpful for me in the past.
