My starting point is a Windows 10 system and I'm wondering what is the first thing I do to get started. I did find this guide from OfficerAction - is this information still current and would it be a good place to start? Am I right in assuming that a Linux system (real or virtual) is a requirement i.e. there is no Windows emulation available? Also, would you be able to send me a link for the Plato reference that you mentioned.

Regards. . .

That tutorial is OK as a starting point. If you are on Windows 10, you can use WSL instead of a native Linux installation, but it will be quite slow when working with toolchains. So yes, a Linux system of some sort is a requirement. For Plato, see https://github.com/baskerville/plato/tree/master/src.
