For the Gpg4win*.exe download, you don't, just check the code signature. :)
Otherwise you do it from the explorer, right click and select verify
on the signature.
If you want to do it on the command line as an exercise:

The public key (short "pubkey") is imported earlier and then is found in your
local key storage.
So it is just
gpg --verify FILENAME
after you did an
gpg --fetch https://gnupg.org/signature_key.asc
Or you download https://gnupg.org/signature_key.asc
and
gpg --import signature_key.as
If you want to see more about what is happening, you can add an `-v` after
the 'gpg`, like
gpg -v --fetch https://gnupg.org/signature_key.asc
Best Regards,
Bernhard
