-  On Windows you will need to install [Windows Terminal](https://aka.ms/terminal) and [Git](https://gitforwindows.org/), (Git for Windows provides a Bash emulation). To avoid Windows storing Python scripts in a GUID folder under `%appdata%`, add wherever you've chosen for your Python scripts e.g. `C:\Program Files\Python3\Scripts\` to the PATH environment variable. In Windows Terminal do Ctrl+Click on Git Bash to open as administrator, then to run `git` (with no arguments) enter:
+  If you are already using the [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about), you can follow the Linux instructions above. If you don't want to install a full WSL distribution, [Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/) provides Bash emulation, so you can use it as a more lightweight option instead.
 
-  ```bash
-  git

+  > When installing [Python 3.8](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380/) (from python.org), be sure to check "Add Python to PATH" so that installed Python scripts are accessible from any location. If for some reason installed Python scripts, e.g. `pip`, are not available from any location, you can add Python to the `PATH` environment variable using the instructions [here](https://datatofish.com/add-python-to-windows-path/).
+  >
+  > And while doing so should not be necessary if you follow the instructions further down and install `wikiteam3` using `pip`, if you'd prefer that Windows store installed Python scripts somewhere other than the default Python folder under `%appdata%`, you can also add your preferred alternative path such as `C:\Program Files\Python3\Scripts\` or a subfolder of `My Documents`. (You will need to restart any terminal sessions in order for this to take effect.)
+
+  Whenever you'd like to run a Bash session, you can open a Bash terminal prompt from any folder in Windows Explorer by right-clicking and choosing the option from the context menu. (For some purposes you may wish to run Bash as an administrator.) This way you can open a Bash prompt and clone the `wikiteam3` repository in one location, and subsequently or later open another Bash prompt and run `wikiteam3` to dump a wiki wherever else you'd like without having to browse to the directory manually using Bash.
