 ### FullCLR PowerShell
 
-On Windows, we also build Full PowerShell for .NET 4.5.1
-
-#### Setup environment
-
-* Install the Visual C++ Compiler via Visual Studio 2015.
-
-This component is required to compile the native `powershell.exe` host.
-
-This is an optionally installed component, so you may need to run the
-Visual Studio installer again.
-
-If you don't have any Visual Studio installed, you can use
-[Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition][vs].
-
-> Compiling with older versions should work, but we don't test it.
-
-**Troubleshooting note:** If `cmake` says that it cannot determine the
-`C` and `CXX` compilers, you either don't have Visual Studio, or you
-don't have the Visual C++ Compiler component installed.
-
-* Install CMake and add it to `PATH.`
-
-You can install it from [Chocolatey][] or [manually][].
-
-```
-choco install cmake.portable
-```
-
-* Install .NET CLI via their [documentation][cli-docs]
-
-[vs]: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs.aspx
-[Chocolatey]: https://chocolatey.org/packages/cmake.portable
-[manually]: https://cmake.org/download/
-
-#### Building
-
-```powershell
-Start-PSBuild -FullCLR
-```
-
-**Troubleshooting:** the build logic is relatively simple and contains following steps:
-- building managed DLLs: `dotnet publish --runtime net451`
-- generating Visual Studio project: `cmake -G "$cmakeGenerator"`
-- building `powershell.exe` from generated solution: `msbuild powershell.sln`
-
-All this steps can be run separately from `Start-PSBuild`, don't
-hesitate to experiment.
-
-## Running
-
-Running FullCLR version is not as simple as CoreCLR version.
-
-If you just run ~~`.\binFull\powershell.exe`~~, you will get a `powershell`
-process, but all the interesting DLLs (i.e. `System.Management.Automation.dll`)
-would be loaded from the GAC, not your `binFull` build directory.
-
-[@lzybkr](https://github.com/lzybkr) wrote a module to deal with it and run
-side-by-side.
-
-```powershell
-Import-Module .\PowerShellGithubDev.psm1
-Start-DevPSGithub -binDir $pwd\binFull
-```
-
-**Troubleshooting:** default for `powershell.exe` that **we build** is x86.
-
-There is a separate execution policy registry key for x86, and it's likely that
-you didn't ~~bypass~~ enable it. From **powershell.exe (x86)** run:
-
-```
-Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass
-```
-
 ## Running from CI server
 
 We publish an archive with FullCLR bits on every CI build with [AppVeyor][].

+Build PowerShell on Windows for .NET Full
+=========================================
+
+This guide supplements the
+[Windows .NET Core instructions](./windows-core.md), as building the
+.NET 4.5.1 (desktop) version is nearly identical.
+
+Environment
+===========
+
+In addition to the dependencies specified in the .NET Core
+instructions, we need:
+
+Install the Visual C++ Compiler via Visual Studio 2015.
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+This component is required to compile the native `powershell.exe` host.
+
+This is an optionally installed component, so you may need to run the
+Visual Studio installer again.
+
+If you don't have any Visual Studio installed, you can use
+[Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition][vs].
+
+> Compiling with older versions should work, but we don't test it.
+
+**Troubleshooting note:** If `cmake` says that it cannot determine the
+`C` and `CXX` compilers, you either don't have Visual Studio, or you
+don't have the Visual C++ Compiler component installed.
+
+[vs]: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs.aspx
+
+Install CMake and add it to `PATH`.
+-----------------------------------
+
+You can install it from [Chocolatey][] or [manually][].
+
+```
+choco install cmake.portable
+```
+
+[Chocolatey]: https://chocolatey.org/packages/cmake.portable
+[manually]: https://cmake.org/download/
+
+Build using our module
+======================
+
+Use `Start-PSBuild -FullCLR` from the `PowerShellGitHubDev.psm1`
+module. The bits will be published to `binFull`.
+
+While building is easy, running FullCLR version is not as simple as
+CoreCLR version.
+
+If you just run ~~`.\binFull\powershell.exe`~~, you will get a
+`powershell` process, but all the interesting DLLs (i.e.
+`System.Management.Automation.dll`) would be loaded from the GAC, not
+your `binFull` build directory.

+[@lzybkr](https://github.com/lzybkr) wrote a module to deal with it
+and run side-by-side.
+
+```powershell
+Start-DevPSGithub -binDir $pwd\binFull
+```
+
+The default for `powershell.exe` that **we build** is x86. See
+[issue #683][].
+
+There is a separate execution policy registry key for x86, and it's
+likely that you didn't ~~bypass~~ enable it. From **powershell.exe

+Build manually
+==============
+
+The build logic is relatively simple and contains the following steps:
+
+- building managed DLLs: `dotnet publish --runtime net451`
+- generating Visual Studio project: `cmake -G "$cmakeGenerator"`
+- building `powershell.exe` from generated solution: `msbuild
+  powershell.sln`
+
+Please don't hesitate to experiment.
