+# Download and install the Embedded tooling
+
+# [Visual Studio](#tab/visual-studio)
+
+In Visual Studio 2022 and later versions, you can use the Visual Studio IDE on Windows to edit and debug embedded projects. Use tools such as the [Peripheral Viewer](./peripheral-view.md), [RTOS Viewer](./rtos-view.md), and the [Serial Monitor](./serial-monitor.md) to help interact with and debug your embedded projects.
+
+To use the embedded development tools in Visual Studio, you must install the required **Linux and embedded development with C++** workload.
+
+## To install the Linux and embedded development with C++ workload
+
+1. Enter "Visual Studio Installer" in the Windows search box:
+
+   ![Screenshot showing the Windows search box.](../linux/media/visual-studio-installer-search.png)
+
+1. Open the Visual Studio Installer. In Visual Studio Installer, choose **Modify** next to your installation of Visual Studio, and then select the **Workloads** tab. Scroll down to **Other toolsets** and select the **Linux and embedded development with C++** workload.
+
+   ![Screenshot showing the Visual C++ for Linux Development workload item in Visual Studio Installer.](media/linux-and-embedded-workload.png)
+
+1. Choose **Modify** to continue with the installation.
+
+When installation completes, you're ready to use Visual Studio for embedded development.
+
+# [Visual Studio Code](#tab/visual-studio-code)
+
+## Install the Embedded extensions in Visual Studio Code
+
+Microsoft provides an extension to Visual Studio Code that lets you use embedded tools such as a [Peripheral Viewer](./peripheral-view.md), [RTOS Viewer](./rtos-view.md), and a [Serial Monitor](./serial-monitor.md). Now you can use Microsoft tools to help debug your Linux-based embedded applications.
+
+## To install the embedded extensions for Visual Studio Code
+
+1. Enter "Visual Studio Code" in the Windows search box:
+
+    ![Search-Visual-Studio-Code](media/windows-search-vscode.png)
+
+1. Open Visual Studio Code. In Visual Studio Code, open the **Extensions Pane**.
+
+    ![Visual Studio Code Extensions Pane](media/extensions-pane.png)
+
+1. Search for and install the [Embedded Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.vscode-embedded-tools) extension.
+
+    ![Embedded Tools extension](media/embedded-tools-extension.png)
+
+1. Search for and install the [Serial Monitor](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.vscode-serial-monitor) extension.
+
+    ![Serial Monitor extension](media/serial-monitor-extension.png)
+
+When installation completes, you're ready to use Visual Studio Code for embedded development.
