How to Compile a CryptoNote Coin on Windows 10/11

There has been an active issue for over 5 years now when trying to build the source on modern compilers.

Here is how I was able to compile my CryptoNote Coin using Windows 10.
You can also check for any updates to this guide at my blog: https://joshuapaulbarnard.tech.blog/2023/10/04/how-to-compile-a-cryptonote-coin-on-windows-10-11/
