Download electrum, start electrum, chose to create a new wallet, write down the seed (12 word phrase), you're done

There are several other pieces of walletsoftware that can be used (bitcoin core, multibitHD,...), but i like to recommand electrum because of it's user friendlyness

You can register at blockchain.info it's very simple, or you can download bitcoinwallet at google play then you can get bitcoin address without registration

You have 2 options,
1) online wallet -   go to https://blockchain.info/wallet/ and create one there.

2) HDD wallet - go to www.electrum.org and download the wallet for your computer.

if you want a desktop wallet you can try electrum

if you want online wallet you can try blockchain.info

if you want mobile wallet you can try mycelium

but remember, dont use blockchain.info for large amount of coins and always have a backup of your private keys

Its simple as you install a android application in a mobile. You can register with your mail id and continue the step by step process. Finally after completion have a backup which is to have high security to your wallet.

You need to download a software to your computer to use them and make sure to only download form a trusted source. Understand that your wallet can contain numerous bitcoin addresses. It is a good practice to generate a new receiving address for each incoming transaction, to increase anonymity.
you can use that segregate to each and every work.

Their are two types of Wallets

1. Web Wallets - Coinbase.com , Xapo.com here you will get wallet address but you wont haveing control of signed message , here you will be creating passwords and 2 factor authentication security level. but benefit is any where you can access you account just like you are checking you email online

2. Desktop Wallets - Electrum, here you will download the software and install on your desktop while installing you will be given the SEED key that is most important because if anytime your software get corrupt when you reinstall that time through this SEED key you can reinstall your old wallet address .

Not exactly, online wallet like coinbase do give you the ability to sign a message. The actual difference here is, web wallets either have a copy of your private key or don't give it to you at all, hence they are the ones in control of the BTCs

Hi, you can choose to download two kind of software wallets for Bitcoin.
Alternatively you can choose cloud wallets such blockchain or similar but i won't advise them to anyone who wants to keep their coins safe.

Core Wallet and SPV wallet. I'll explain breifly which are the main difference between the two so you can understand which will fit better with your needings.

Core Wallet: is the original Bitcoin wallet maintained by Bitcoin Core team developers. The cons of this wallet is that it require to download the whole blockchain and sync to it to be working. This mean downloading about 30 gb of datas, and it could a little expensive in terms of time and storage for medium users.

SPV wallet: Those are "fast sync" wallets which do not require to download the entire blockchain but they connect to it everytime you open syncing to the last part of that to be able to operate.
those kind of wallet are preferred if you cannot allow to download the entire blockchain or you use Bitcoin sporadically.



Here at this link: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet you can find both the core wallet and all the others SPV wallets listed. Note that only the Orange logo on the left upper side of the list is the Bitcoin core wallet. All the others link refers to spv wallets.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice journey into Bitcoin!

As such i know or i am using web wallet and desktop software wallet, in web wallet their is very limit security only password and 2FA security level is their and some web wallet done offer signed message if in future you need for any problem. In software wallet you have to download the software and install it , while installing you will get seed key that you have to stored it safely because in future if any problem come to software and if you want to reinstall then you will be needing this seed to restore the wallets in some software wallet their will be wallet.dat file that is also important.

You can create bitcoin wallet just goto a specific site like blockchain and there you can create bitcoin wallet. Also there are many sites that offering a free bitcoin wallet so it's up to you.

I see that everyone is recommending Electrum, and for sure it will be not bad choice, but for example for me MultiBit is working perfect from years. Installation and operate is very easy.

Here is link to download: https://multibit.org/

There are online and offline options, software based and web based options. For a newbie I would recommend coinbase.com

Coinbase have the best security as wallet online, but i will not trust anyone online (even with so good reputation like have coinbase). Giving someone else money to the care of never will be safe.
For start, as it was mentioned, or Electrum, or MultiBit.

The thing Coinbase has others dont is insurance in case of them being hacked.  It does not protect individual account's if you are the cause of losing account.  But if say their servers are hacked this insurance should cover losses.   

It has never been tested though.... so it's a should but we have never seen it happen.  Which is really a good thing.  But you do giveaway things like access to your bitcoin through other wallets as with Coinbase you cannot get private key's.

As you can see, many people described many options.
Wallet is just a placeholder term for your bitcoin address (sometimes group of addresses).
You can create your bitcoin address online and offline. Everything depends on your choice.

You need to download multibit a light wallet or bitcoin core  full node wallet with  full blockchain.
Also if you want a simple method you can registrer in blockchain.info and receive a BTC adress in which you can receive bitcoins.
