+Windows-Specific Build Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you're building TVM on Windows, note these platform-specific considerations:
+
+File Encoding
+.............
+- Ensure Python files are saved as **UTF-8 without BOM** (Byte Order Mark)
+- BOM characters cause ``SyntaxError: invalid non-printable character U+FEFF``
+- In VS Code: Bottom-right encoding → "Save with Encoding" → "UTF-8"
+
+Path Conventions
+................
+- Use forward slashes (``/``) in Python/CMake paths, not Windows backslashes
+- Example: ``python cmake/config.cmake`` not ``python cmake\\config.cmake``
+
+Common Windows Build Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+CUDA Configuration
+..................
+For CUDA support:
+
+.. code-block:: batch
+
+ set CUDA_PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8
+ set PATH=%CUDA_PATH%\bin;%PATH%
+ python cmake/config.cmake --use-cuda=ON
+
+CMake & Compiler Setup
+......................
+- Use CMake GUI or specify generator: ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A
x64 ..``
+- Ensure Python is in PATH or specify:
``-DPython_EXECUTABLE=C:\Python39\python.exe``
+
+Development Environment Tips
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Git Configuration
+.................
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ git config --global core.autocrlf input
+
+VS Code Settings
+................
+Add to ``settings.json``:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+ {
+ "files.encoding": "utf8",
+ "files.autoGuessEncoding": false,
+ "[python]": { "files.encoding": "utf8" }
+ }
