 ## Preparation
 
-### 1. Visual Studio
+### 1. Install Required Dependencies
+
+The first step is to install the required build applications. The instructions below use WinGet to install the applications.
+
+WinGet is available on all supported Windows versions. The applications mentioned can also be installed manually.
+
+#### Visual Studio
 
 This guide relies on using CMake and vcpkg package manager provided with the Visual Studio installation.
-Here are requirements for the Visual Studio installation:
-1. Minimum required version: Visual Studio 2026 version 18.3.
-2. Installed components:
-- The "Desktop development with C++" workload.
 
-The commands in this guide should be executed in "Developer PowerShell for VS" or "Developer Command Prompt for VS".
+Minimum required version: Visual Studio 2026 version 18.3 with the "Desktop development with C++" workload.
+
+To install Visual Studio Community Edition with the necessary components, run:
+
+```powershell
+winget install --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community --override "--wait --quiet --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Git --includeRecommended"
+```
+
+This installs:
+- Visual Studio
+- The "Desktop development with C++" workload (NativeDesktop)
+- Git component
+
+After installation, the commands in this guide should be executed in "Developer PowerShell for VS" or "Developer Command Prompt for VS".
 The former is assumed hereinafter.
 
-### 2. Git
+#### Python
 
-Download and install [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/downloads/win). Once installed, Git is available from PowerShell or the Command Prompt.
+Python is required for running the test suite.
 
-### 3. Clone Bitcoin Repository
+To install Python, run:
 
-Clone the Bitcoin Core repository to a directory. All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.
+```powershell
+winget install python3
 ```
+
+### 2. Clone Bitcoin Repository

+### vcpkg Manifest Default Features
 
 One can skip vcpkg manifest default features to speed up the configuration step.
 For example, the following invocation will skip all features except for "wallet" and "tests" and their dependencies:
-```
+```powershell
 cmake -B build --preset vs2026 -DVCPKG_MANIFEST_NO_DEFAULT_FEATURES=ON -DVCPKG_MANIFEST_FEATURES="wallet;tests" -DBUILD_GUI=OFF -DWITH_ZMQ=OFF
 ```
 
 Available features are listed in the [`vcpkg.json`](/vcpkg.json) file.
