-### Uninstalling Source-based Install
+#### Uninstalling Source Install
 
 If you need to uninstall Ignition Fuel Tools or switch back to a
 debian-based install when you currently have installed the library from
 source, navigate to your source code directory's build folders and run
 `make uninstall`:
-
-\code
+```
 cd /tmp/ign-fuel-tools/build
 sudo make uninstall
-\endcode
+```
+
+### Windows
+
+#### Prerequisites
+
+First, follow the [ign-cmake](https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-cmake) tutorial for installing Conda, Visual Studio, CMake, etc., prerequisites, and creating a Conda environment.
+
+Navigate to ``condabin`` if necessary to use the ``conda`` command (i.e., if Conda is not in your `PATH` environment variable. You can find the location of ``condabin`` in Anaconda Prompt, ``where conda``).
+
+Create if necessary, and activate a Conda environment:
+```
+conda create -n ign-ws
+conda activate ign-ws
+```
+
+Install dependencies:
+```
+conda install jsoncpp libzip --channel conda-forge
+```
+
+Install Ignition dependencies:
+
+You can view available versions and their dependencies:
+```
+conda search libignition-fuel-tools* --channel conda-forge --info
+```
+
+Install Ignition dependencies, replacing `<#>` with the desired versions:
+```
+conda install libignition-cmake<#> libignition-common<#> libignition-msgs<#> libignition-tools<#> --channel conda-forge
+```
+
+#### Building from source
+
+1. Activate the Conda environment created in the prerequisites:
+  ```
+  conda activate ign-ws
+  ```
+
+2. Navigate to where you would like to build the library, and clone the repository.
+  ```
+  # Optionally, append `-b ign-fuel-tools#` (replace # with a number) to check out a specific version
+  git clone https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-fuel-tools.git
+  ```
+
+3. Configure and build
+  ```
+  cd ign-fuel-tools
+  mkdir build
+  cd build
+  cmake .. -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF  # Optionally, -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path\to\install
+  cmake --build . --config Release
+  ```
+
+4. Optionally, install. You wil likely need to run a terminal with admin privileges for this call to succeed.
+  ```
+  cmake --install . --config Release
+  ```
