+### From Visual Studio with minimal work
+
+These instructions will use a release version of ICU4C (tested with 76.1) and
+a "Hello ICU world" project already created.
+They provide minimal effort that only requires downloading and opening in Visual Studio
+before using.

+> :point_right: **Note**: the MessageFormat 2 implementation in a previously release version may be behind the spec in the first few releases of ICU after the MF2.0 spec was declared 1.0 in CLDR 46.1,
+which occurred between ICU 76 and ICU 77. The difference between latest MF2.0 and the spec version supported in ICU may be minimal.
