I'm not sure if i get this question correct - Codespaces will do all this steps for you, so you get a "on-click ready to use dev-env" with Codespaces (as you already mention), but the other way around, this guide here does not cover Codespaces |

| The easiest way to get started with development is to use Visual Studio Code with [devcontainers](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers).

Clarify Windows version requirements.
The phrase "based on Windows 10 version 2004 and higher or Windows 11" might confuse readers about the exact requirements. Clarifying that it applies to Windows 10 (version 2004 and later) and all versions of Windows 11 could improve understanding.
