 ## Windows
-Windows support is partially supported with DeepSpeed. On Windows you can build wheel with following steps, currently only inference mode is supported.
-1. Install pytorch, such as pytorch 1.8 + cuda 11.1
-2. Install visual cpp build tools, such as VS2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools
-3. Launch cmd console with Administrator privilege for creating required symlink folders
-4. Run `python setup.py bdist_wheel` to build wheel in `dist` folder
+Many DeepSpeed features are supported on Windows for both training and inference. You can read more about this in the original blog post [here](https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed/tree/master/blogs/windows/08-2024/README.md). Among features that are currently not supported are async io (AIO) and GDS (which does not support Windows).
+1. Install PyTorch, such as pytorch 2.3+cu121.
+2. Install Visual C++ build tools, such as VS2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools.
+3. Launch Cmd console with Administrator permissions for creating required symlink folders and ensure MSVC tools are added to your PATH or launch the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2022 with administrator permissions.
+4. Run `build_win.bat` to build wheel in `dist` folder.
