Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
doc/win-dev.ps1 unnecessarily(?) installs choco in order to install our build deps.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use the existing(?) WinGet instead.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Keep it as-is.
Additional context
IIRC, you installed build deps by yourself via WinGet. Please provide a list of the packages you installed.

Research direction
Open doc/win-dev.ps1 and trace which build dependencies it installs through Chocolatey. Verify the corresponding WinGet packages and update the script so it uses WinGet instead; done means the script no longer installs Chocolatey and the required package list is documented or evident.
