 ### Windows platform notes
 
-The Windows platform can present a number of challenges which increase when using this plugin. The following tips are recommended for getting started with Windows:
+Use of this plugin on the Windows platform is not always straightforward, due to the need to build the internal SQLite3 C++ library. The following tips are recommended for getting started with Windows:
 
 - First start to build and run an app on another platform such as Android or iOS with this plugin.
 - Try working with a very simple app using simpler plugins such as cordova-plugin-dialogs and possibly cordova-plugin-file on the Windows platform.
-- Read through the **Windows platform usage** of the [Installing](#installing) section.
+- Read through the [Windows platform usage](#windows-platform-usage) subsection (under the [Installing](#installing) section).
 - Then try adding this plugin to a very simple app such as [brodybits / cordova-sqlite-test-app](https://github.com/brodybits/cordova-sqlite-test-app) and running the Windows project in the Visual Studio GUI with a specific target CPU selected. **WARNING:** It is not possible to use this plugin with the "Any CPU" target.
