 # Using deal.II on native Windows
 
-For an overview of different ways to use deal.II on Windows have a look at the corresponding [FAQ entry](https://github.com/dealii/dealii/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#can-i-use-dealii-on-a-windows-platform).

-**Warning: please be aware that the following is experimental and you will likely encounter bugs in compilers and deal.II itself. Only continue if you are willing to experiment.**

 ## Visual Studio
 
-Since deal.II 8.4.0 we have experimental support for the newer Visual Studio C++ compilers (2017 or newer), but this is still work in progress. Please see the following threads for more details:

+Studio C++ compilers (2017 or newer), but this is still work in progress.
+You can check the current development status
+[here](https://github.com/dealii/dealii/issues/1921)
 
 Installation instructions:
 
-1. Download and install Visual Studio 2017: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/ and make sure you select the C++ compiler
-2. Install cmake from https://cmake.org/download/ (pick the windows installer)
-3. Extract deal.II to a folder, for example c:\dealii (or clone the git development version)
-4. Configure using cmake by opening the 64bit command line shortcut and run:
-
-    ```
-    set PreferredToolArchitecture=x64
-    cd c:\dealii
-    mkdir build
-    cd c:\dealii\build
-    cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ..
-    ```
-    Note: Setting the tool architecture to 64 bit works around problems of the compiler or linker running out of memory and leads to much quicker compile times.
-    Note: Use generator ``"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"`` for Visual Studio 2017.
-
-6. Compile and install the library by opening ``deal.II.sln`` in c:\dealii\build, pick the install target and compile. Note: you need to either compile in the same terminal as above (using ``cmake --build .``) or open ``devenv.exe`` from the same terminal, to use the 64 bit tool architecture.
