Windows changes - Update generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-th…

[paulyuk]

The current Windows pivot tab is all invalid showing bash/zsh steps.

This PR provides the working PowerShell commands.

I might need help ensuring the MarkDown renders correctly in the pivot tabs.

Hi does this code mean it gets your SSH secure certificate and installs it for you I'm clear please can someone explain or elaborate thank you

Hi @Vindawg138 , yes. Sticking to the original spirit of the article it shows you how to create your own SSH key, and then upload the public key to GH. The only issue is the steps did not work on Powershell like they did for Bash/ssh on linux. So this fixes the steps.
