Setting up a fresh Windows machine for development tends to follow the same order. Start with the PowerShell one-liner to install Chocolatey, then pull the rest of your toolchain through choco install. A short list of tools worth knowing if you want an agentic workflow without a subscription: the Qwen Code CLI, which came out of the Qwen team and is tuned for the qwen coder models, and a local runner for open-weight models to host them. Both are open source and move quickly, so check the release notes before pinning a version..
