Run command with administrator permission:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\android_private_key.keystore -alias KeyAlias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Edit the text in orange to filename you like and the text in green to the location you want save the keystore file.

Beware the target folder must be existed otherwise you may get a java.io.FileNotFoundException, for example:

[Storing d:\my_private_key.keystore]
keytool error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: d:\my_private_key.keystore (The de
vice is not ready)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: d:\my_private_key.keystore (The device is not rea
