-Prebuilt docker linux images containing llvm-mingw are available from
-[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/), and
-prebuilt toolchains (both for use as cross compiler from linux, and
-for use on windows) are available for download on GitHub. The toolchains

+The [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases)
+page contains prebuilt toolchains that can be downloaded and installed
+by just unpacking them.
+
+They come primarily in two different forms; packages named
+`llvm-mingw-<version>-<crt>-ubuntu-<distro_version>-<arch>.tar.xz`
+are cross compilers, that can be run on Linux, compiling binaries
+for any of the 4 target Windows architectures. Packages named
+`llvm-mingw-<version>-<crt>-<arch>.zip` are native toolchains that
+run on Windows (with binaries in the specified architecture), but
+which all can compile binaries for any of the 4 architectures.
+
+The cross compilers come in versions running on either x86_64 or
+aarch64. (They're built on Ubuntu, but hopefully do run on other
+contempory distributions as well.)
+
+There are packages with two different choices of CRT (C runtime) - the
+primary target is UCRT (the Universal C Runtime). The UCRT
+is available preinstalled since Windows 10, but can be installed
+on top of Vista or newer. The other legacy alternative is `msvcrt`,
+which produces binaries for (and uses) msvcrt.dll, which is a
+built-in component in all versions of Windows. This allows running
+directly out of the box on older versions of Windows too, without
+ensuring that the UCRT is installed, but msvcrt.dll is generally
+less featureful.
+
+In addition to the downloadable toolchain packges, there are also
+prebuilt docker linux images containing the llvm-mingw toolchain,
+available from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/).
