Help needed with ".ico" file. Trying to save one to use with a link on my home page.

I have a link to an ".ico" file. Trying to save that file to my thumb drive so that I can install on other users Windows PC's. Haven't done that for years and I thought it was pretty straightforward then. Not so, now.

using Windows 10, to open the link it opens it in MS Paint but .ico is not one of the file types I can "save As".

Most browsers should be able to save an .ico file directly with save as, if it really is an ico file.
