You can get a free version of MSVC (for individual usage) by downloading the [https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/ ''Community'' edition of MS Visual Studio].

	~~For those who want to avoid installing the huge MSVC for the mere purpose of having a compiler, see [[CompileOnWindows - Reducing Disk Footprint]].~~

	'''Note:''' Although the ''Community'' edition of MSVC is free, to use the IDE for more than a 30-day trial period you must create a Microsoft account. If you will only compile using the command line, you don't need the IDE and thus no Microsoft account.
