The Get Started (Quickstart) Windows install step showed only winget, implying it is the only way to install Coder on Windows. Add a pointer to the Install guide for the .msi installer, standalone .exe, and other methods, mirroring the Linux/macOS alternate-methods pointer already in this step.

What
The Quickstart's Windows install step (Step 2) showed only
winget, which implied it was the only way to install Coder on Windows. This adds a pointer from that step to the Install guide, which documents the.msiinstaller, the standalone.exebinary, andwinget.Why
We received user feedback that the Get Started guide felt confusing and restrictive for Windows because it looked like
wingetwas the only install option. The Linux/macOS tab in the same step already links out to alternate install methods; the Windows tab did not. This restores that symmetry.Scope (deliberately atomic)
This intentionally does not advertise every install method in the Quickstart. The Quickstart shows the single fastest path (
winget) and links out to the Install guide for everything else. The change is one nested bullet, mirroring the existing Linux/macOS "alternate methods" pointer.Linear: DOCS-601
