+Windows
+-------
+
+Skia should build on Windows with Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. No other
+version, older or newer, is supported. If you use Visual Studio, you may
+want to pass `--ide=vs` to `gn gen` to generate `all.sln`.
+
+The bots use a packaged toolchain, which you may be able to download like this:
+
+<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
+
+ python infra/bots/assets/win_toolchain/download.py -t C:/toolchain
+
+If you pass that downloaded path to GN via `windk`, you can build using that
+toolchain instead of your own from Visual Studio. This toolchain is the only
+way we support 32-bit builds, by also setting `target_cpu="x86"`.
+
+CMake
+-----
+
+We have added a GN-to-CMake translator mainly for use with IDEs that like CMake
+project descriptions. This is not meant for any purpose beyond development.
