+#### How to compile zstd with Visual Studio
+
+1. Install Visual Studio e.g. VS 2015 Community Edition (it's free).
+2. Download the latest version of zstd from https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd/releases
+3. Decompress ZIP archive.
+4. Go to decompressed directory then to "projects" then "VS2010" and open zstd.sln
+5. Visual Studio will ask about converting VS2010 project to VS2015 and you should agree.
+6. Change "Debug" to "Release" and if you have 64-bit Windows change also "Win32" to "x64".
+7. Press F7 on keyboard or select "BUILD" from the menu bar and choose "Build Solution".
+8. If compilation will be fine a compiled executable will be in projects\VS2010\bin\x64\Release\zstd.exe
