How can I download the GarageBand program on my HP laptop? I need to send a score to my friend in another state for his next album, and I am using my Roland Juno DS 76 keyboard.

    If i'm not wrong, this is off-topic for MusSE. You may try a scoring software like musescore, or you can even use trial versions of FL Studio or Ableton Live – RishiNandha Vanchi May 07 '20 at 08:52

You can't install the official GarageBand on a Windows PC; it only exists for macOS and iOS. Fortunately, there are countless alternatives; this article lists some of them which you can maybe use.

You can either have such a program export a MIDI file (which records the notes you play, how long they are and with which velocity, but not the sound of your Roland keyboard, i.e. basically a transcription of the sheet music) or an audio file (WAV, OGG, MP3) - a MIDI file has the advantage that your friend can easily edit it. But their GarageBand will support importing both types.
