I'm in doubt about what image should I download and how can I record

Could someone please help me?

As mentioned in section 4.3 of the OpenBSD FAQ, you would want the
install56.fs file if you want to write it to a USB drive. To write
it to
a USB drive in Windows you would need a program like dd to do it.
There is a Windows dd program here:
http://www.chrysocome.net/dd
I have never used it before. Based on a quick scan of that web page
I
would say you should be very careful what arguments you pass to that
dd
program at chrysocome.net since it looks like it would be easy to
wipe out
the hard drive of the Windows machine you are using to prepare the
USB
drive.
There might or might not be a better alternative to the dd program at
chrysocome.net out there on the internet.
