I also wanted to create OPEN SSL for Windows 10. An easy way of getting it done without running into a risk of installing unknown software from 3rd party websites and risking entries of viruses, is by using the openssl.exe that comes inside your Git for Windows installation. In my case, I found the open SSL in the following location of Git for Windows Installation.
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\openssl.exe
If you also want instructions on how to use OPENSSL to generate and use Certificates. Here is a write-up on my blog. The step by step instructions first explains how to use Microsoft Windows Default Tool and also OPEN SSL and explains the difference between them.

Easy way and fastest if you already have Git. +1 for that.A shortcut would be to directly type your openssl commands inside the Git bash like this
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -x509 -days 365 -out certificate.pemFor some commands, you may need to specify the config location with the -config flag. Mine was at
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\ssl\openssl.cnfMore than an upvote you deserve a standing ovation!!! Thanks a lot
if you have Git for Windows, type bash in terminal then you can use openssl command vola
Every time I try the git openssl in git in Windows, it does not complete any output and does not display anything or quit. I am trying to figure That out now...
