Here is a quick guide where you can Install Java Development Kit (JDK) jdk1.8.0_131 In Windows 7.Java JDK kit is used to develop Android apps and a lot more.
Go to Download JAVA SDK and download Java Platform (JDK) 8u131 file from the site. You will be redirected to another window. Once you are redirected to the download page, you may need to check the "Accept Licence Agreement". Then as per the version of your windows, download Java SDK by selecting the appropriate link. You can check the version of your windows by going to Control Panel\System and Security\System.

You can select download for Windows 64 bit version and 86 version. The JDK current version has a size of 198 MB and it will take some time to load as per the Internet speed. After downloading, install Java SDK and double clicking to set up and selecting next. I would suggest not to change anything, including the path of Java SDK files.

To verify whether Java installed correctly in Windows, Go to Local Disk C > Program Files. There you can see a folder called Java and JDK files inside the folder.
