Hi,
Just done my first build of VIM on an old Windows 7 32bit machine
upgraded to Windows 10 using VC. The link stage was failing due to
mixed machine targets being used in the make file - 32 and 64 bit! I
tracked this down to some fun with the PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE in a 32bit
prompt on a 64bit machine, see -

I guess no one has ever tried to do this until now. It seems reasonable
to default to the host processor architecture and not the architecture
of the process being used to run the build. The following diff solves
the build issue for me:
diff --git a/src/Make_mvc.mak b/src/Make_mvc.mak
--- a/src/Make_mvc.mak
+++ b/src/Make_mvc.mak
