      Edit > EOL Conversion > Windows (CR LF)

      If it’s greyed out, then Notepad++ thinks it’s already CRLF. In which case, you will have to change it to one of the others, then change it back.

      Equivalently, look in the lower-right status bar: the third field from the right is the line-ending field; you can change line endings by right clicking and selecting the ending you want… again, toggling to something else and back if it already thinks it is CRLF.

        They are probably already there and you need to do exactly nothing to insert them.

        If you are “unconfident” that Notepad++ is doing this for you, press the “Pilcrow” toolbar button…the one with this symbol on it:

        In the Notepad++ toolbar, it is blue in color, not black.

        With that toolbar button in the depressed state, you will see the CR and LF in a Windows file, example:
