Thanks for the detailed step-by-step guide. But as an external service it may change over time, a guide (especially one based on screenshots) puts extra maintenance on us - especially one that's based on screenshots. Links may also change, but they are a lot easier to update.
I personally find the official guides (that we linked) from Microsoft fairly easy to follow. @ARMmbed/mbed-os-core Any thoughts?

Agreed with @LDong-Arm; the instructions should not be repeated from the external website, it is a non necessary maintenance overhead for the configuration of a third-party SDK.
It would make sense to add more details if several configuration options are provided in the external guide but I don't think it is really applicable here.
