Start by working right through the tutorial at railstutorial.org
(which is free to use online). You can work through this in the cloud
so you don't need to worry about installing anything on your machine.

When you have done that then my recommendation is to not even try
developing Rails on Windows, either run a Linux (eg Ubuntu) virtual
machine inside windows or even better dual boot the machine with
Ubuntu and Windows. I gather some have had success with Windows but
the vast majority use Linux or Mac and you will find it much more
difficult to get help on Win. Install ruby and rails using rvm or
rbenv.
