Installing Windows software

[Robert Heller]

MS-Windows 11 will only install on very new hardware. MS-Windows 10 is nearing
EOL. You can't "just install" MS-Windows. You need to buy a license key to use
it. (I don't know if it will install without a key, or if it will run in any
meaningful way without a licence key.)

There is already documentation on installing TeX Live on MS-Windows here: 
https://tug.org/texlive/windows.html and a web search turns up several Youtube 
videos.
