* An Internet connection is required.

* You will want to make sure devkitA64 is selected during the installation process to develop for the Switch - you can also install devkitARM (for 3DS, DS and GBA) and devkitPPC (for GameCube/Wii development) if you wish.

* Once the installer has finished, launch MSYS from:

** Windows 7 and earlier: Start -> All Programs -> devkitPro -> MSYS

** Windows 8 and 8.1: Right click on the Start screen and select 'All Apps'. You should find MSYS there.

** Windows 10 (pre-Anniversary Update): Start -> All Apps -> devkitPro -> MSYS

** Windows 10 (post-Anniversary Update): Start -> devkitPro -> MSYS
