+## Windows
+
+Windows support is provided by `node-reinstall.bat`. It is intentionally narrower
+than the OSX/Linux script: it removes the user-level npm paths that commonly hold
+global npm shims, modules, caches, and native build artifacts, then reinstalls
+Node.js through nvm-windows when `nvm` is available on `PATH`.
+
+The Windows script may delete:
+
+```
+%APPDATA%\npm\npm
+%APPDATA%\npm\npm.cmd
+%APPDATA%\npm\npx
+%APPDATA%\npm\npx.cmd
+%APPDATA%\npm\node_modules
+%APPDATA%\npm-cache
+%USERPROFILE%\.npm
+%USERPROFILE%\.npm-cache
+%USERPROFILE%\.node-gyp
+```
+
+Preview the cleanup before deleting anything:
+
+```
+node-reinstall.bat --dry-run
+```
+
+Run the non-destructive Windows smoke checks:
+
+```
+test\windows-smoke.bat
+```
+
+Run the Windows re-installer:
+
+```
+node-reinstall.bat
+```
+
+Or specify a Node.js version for nvm-windows:
+
+```
+node-reinstall.bat 20.11.1
+```
+
+If nvm-windows is not installed, the script still performs the npm cleanup and
+prints the next manual install step instead of downloading or running an
+installer for you. The repository pins `node-reinstall.bat` to CRLF line endings
+so Windows `cmd.exe` can resolve its internal labels reliably.
+
 ## Summary
 This is a complete (and very destructive) tool for re-installing Node.js on OSX and Linux. See the [SO article](http://stackoverflow.com/a/11178106/2083544) for reference and the related [gist that spawned this repo](https://gist.github.com/brock/5b1b70590e1171c4ab54). This deletes ~~everything, yes everything,~~ **a lot of stuff you might want** and completely removes Node.js and NPM and replaces it with the Node Version Manager called [NVM](https://github.com/creationix/nvm). It will attempt to re-install any global NPM modules already installed, and you can opt for Nave instead of NVM if you prefer.
