@TooTallNate can you or another maintainer take a look at this.

I didn't see this requiring any code updates. Just taking the steps necessary to get the environment correct.

Most notably I think having the latest version of NPM makes the biggest difference!

pings @TooTallNate

* Install Visual Studio Community 2015 Edition. (Custom Install, Select Visual C++ during the installation)
* Set the environment variable GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015
* Run the command prompt as Administrator
* $ npm install (--msvs_version=2015) <-- Shouldn't be needed if you have set GYP_MSVS_VERSION env

Maybe write this as:

`npm install --msvs_version=2015` (`--msvs_version` is not needed if GYP_MSVS_VERSION is set)

It renders more nicely on GH that way.

LGTM with a suggestion. Can you squash the commits and write up a nice commit log? Please capitalize and punctuate sentences. Thanks.

@Jayflux Do git rebase -i origin/master locally, then git push your-remote +HEAD:updatingWindows10Doc.

If you google around, some people will tell you to git push -f but that force-pushes all branches and can be dangerous.

Oh, and please post a comment when you're done. GH doesn't send notifications when you add or modify commits.

Yes, you should be doing that from the command line.

@TooTallNate I think the changes have been reflected in this PR for some reason
Sorry for the confusion
