Ollama is fantastic, however until now i've been dependant on models that are already on the website.. There are many models from hugging face that I wanna use with Ollama (since Ollama is highly optimized and larger models run better on my computer using it). However, there are literally zero guides online about how to do that on windows.. The tutorials on youtube are all about Mac or Linux (which is frustrating)... And the guide on how to do that in this page is extremely confusing and unnecessarily overcomplicated (and again, it uses Mac and Linux terminology).

If someone could do a simple step by step for Windows users that'd be cool (such as how to upload models from HF onto the Ollama website so that they can be downloaded in the natural way via "Ollama run [model]" in the console like usual ollama models).
