 ## Prerequisites
 
-- Either Visual Studio or the Build Tools for Visual Studio, and the optional Desktop development with C++ workload
+- Either **Visual Studio** or the **build tools for Visual Studio**, and the optional **Desktop development with C++** workload
   - Visual Studio is a powerful integrated development environment that supports a full-featured editor, resource managers, debuggers, and compilers for many languages and platforms. For information on these features and how to download and install Visual Studio, including the free Visual Studio Community edition, see [Install Visual Studio](/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio).
-  - The Build Tools for Visual Studio installs only the command-line toolset, the compilers, tools, and libraries you need to build C and C++ programs. It's perfect for build labs or classroom exercises and installs relatively quickly. To install only the command-line toolset, download Build Tools for Visual Studio from the [Visual Studio downloads](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022) page and run the installer. In the Visual Studio installer, select the **Desktop development with C++** workload (in older versions of Visual Studio, select the **C++ build tools** workload), and choose **Install**.

-- MSVC compiler
+- **MSVC compiler**
   - MSVC has complex requirements for the command-line environment to find the tools, headers, and libraries it uses. **You can't use MSVC in a plain command prompt window** without some preparation. You need a *developer command prompt* window, which is a regular command prompt window that has all the required environment variables set. Fortunately, Visual Studio installs shortcuts for you to launch developer command prompts that have the environment set up for command line builds. Unfortunately, the names of the developer command prompt shortcuts and where they're located are different in almost every version of Visual Studio and on different versions of Windows. Your first walkthrough task is to find the right shortcut to use.

You must fix this issue before you can continue.
 
-If you can't find the developer command prompt shortcut, or if you get an error message when you enter `cl`, then your Visual Studio installation might have a problem. If you're using Visual Studio 2017 or later, try reinstalling the **Desktop development with C++** workload in the Visual Studio installer.

Or, reinstall the Build Tools from the [Visual Studio downloads](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) page. Don't go on to the next section until the `cl` command works.

 The C and C++ languages are similar, but not the same. The MSVC compiler uses a basic rule to determine which language to use when it compiles your code. By default, the MSVC compiler treats all files that end in *`.c`* as C source code, and all files that end in *`.cpp`* as C++ source code. To force the compiler to treat all files as C no matter the file name extension, use the [/TC](reference/tc-tp-tc-tp-specify-source-file-type.md) compiler option.
 
-By default, MSVC is compatible with the ANSI C89 and ISO C99 standards, but not strictly conforming. In most cases, portable C code compiles and runs as expected. The compiler provides optional support for the changes in ISO C11/C17. To compile with C11/C17 support, use the compiler flag `/std:c11` or `/std:c17`. C11/C17 support requires Windows SDK 10.0.20201.0 or later. Windows SDK 10.0.22000.0 or later is recommended. You can download the latest SDK from the [Windows SDK](https://developer.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/) page. For more information, and instructions on how to install and use this SDK for C development, see [Install C11 and C17 support in Visual Studio](../overview/install-c17-support.md).
