Description
Out of the box, Windows does not provide two things required by the CUDA feature flag:
1. `cl.exe` being in PATH.
2. An Nvidia driver up-to-date enough to allow querying for `compute_cap`.
The Installation Page should append a Windows-specific footer stating the user must add `cl.exe` to PATH by finding the folder `cl.exe` is in (usually `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.35.32215\bin\Hostx64\x64`) and adding it to PATH (and restart the editor and any open terminals). Then it should direct the user to manually install Nvidia's latest drivers, as the one provided by Windows Update is severely out of date and doesn't allow querying for `compute_cap`.

Research direction
Open the repository's Installation Page and locate the Windows-specific content. Add a footer covering the cl.exe PATH requirement, restarting the editor and terminals, and manual installation of current Nvidia drivers; done means the Windows prerequisites are stated clearly and accurately on the page.
