    (Optional) The hardware compiles listed above can take several hours to complete; alternatively, you can download FPGA precompiled binaries (compatible with Linux* Ubuntu* 18.04) from [https://iotdk.intel.com/fpga-precompiled-binaries/latest/merge_sort.fpga.tar.gz](https://iotdk.intel.com/fpga-precompiled-binaries/latest/merge_sort.fpga.tar.gz).
 
-### On Windows*
-
-> **Note**: The Intel® PAC with Intel Arria® 10 GX FPGA and Intel® FPGA PAC D5005 (with Intel Stratix® 10 SX) do not yet support Windows*. Compiling to FPGA hardware on Windows* requires a third-party or custom Board Support Package (BSP) with Windows* support.
-
-1. Change to the sample directory.
-2. Configure the build system for **Intel® PAC with Intel Arria® 10 GX FPGA**, which is the default
-   ```
-   mkdir build
-   cd build
-   cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..
-   ```
-   For the **Intel® FPGA PAC D5005 (with Intel Stratix® 10 SX)**, enter the following:
-   ```
-   cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" .. -DFPGA_DEVICE=intel_s10sx_pac:pac_s10
-   ```
-3. Compile the design. (The provided targets match the recommended development flow.)
-
-   1. Compile for emulation (fast compile time, targets emulated FPGA device).
-      ```
-      nmake fpga_emu
-      ```
-   2. Compile for simulation (fast compile time, targets simulator FPGA device):
-      ```
-      nmake fpga_sim
-      ```
-   3. Generate the HTML performance report.
-      ```
-      nmake report
-      ```
-      The report resides at `merge_sort_report.a.prj/reports/report.html`.
-
-   4. Compile for FPGA hardware (longer compile time, targets FPGA device).
-      ```
-      nmake fpga
-      ```
-> **Note**: If you encounter any issues with long paths when compiling under Windows*, you may have to create your ‘build’ directory in a shorter path, for example `c:\samples\build`. You can then run cmake from that directory, and provide cmake with the full path to your sample directory.
