The README links to Microsoft's Node.js Guidelines for Windows:

node-gyp/README.md

Line 63 in e6f4ede

    
           If the above steps didn't work for you, please visit [Microsoft's Node.js Guidelines for Windows](https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejs-guidelines/blob/master/windows-environment.md#compiling-native-addon-modules) for additional tips.

Looks to me like these instructions are highly outdated. For example, they tell us to install Python 2.7 which reached end-of-life back in 2020.
