Windows install page: what to know before you start (from dev c59774b8252d)

**Before you start.** The prerequisites install for all users of the
machine, so the account you use must be an administrator, which on a
personal machine it normally is; the build and everyday use need no
special rights. Allow an hour or two the first time: the downloads are
about a gigabyte in all, TeX Live alone takes twenty to thirty minutes,
and the build a few minutes. Nothing here needs to be done twice.
