According to PCbuild/readme.txt:

> Using this directory requires an installation of
> Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (MSVC 14.1) of any edition.

However, Doc/using/windows.rst states that Visual Studio 2017 is not required and 2015 may be used instead:

> The source tree contains a build solution and project files for Microsoft
> Visual Studio 2015, which is the compiler used to build the official Python
> releases.

VS 2017 mention was introduced in GH-3418. So either PCbuild readme needs to relax its requirements back or windows.rst needs to be updated.
