+Advanced Scene Switcher - Windows Installation
+==============================================
+
+For full installation instructions visit:
+https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Installation
+
+
+Quick guide
+-----------
+
+This archive contains two installation methods.
+Choose ONE depending on your OBS version.
+
+
+recommended\   (preferred)
+---------------------------------------------
+Extract the CONTENTS of this folder into:
+
+    C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\
+
+Tip: press Win+R and type  %ProgramData%\obs-studio\plugins  to open that folder.
+
+After extracting, the path should look like:
+    C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins\advanced-scene-switcher\bin\64bit\advanced-scene-switcher.dll
+
+
+legacy\   (older OBS versions, portable OBS installs, or if the recommended method does not work)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Extract the CONTENTS of this folder into your OBS installation directory,
+typically:
+
+    C:\Program Files\obs-studio\
+
+Merge the data\ and obs-plugins\ folders with the existing ones when prompted.
+
+Steam users: right-click OBS in your library -> Manage -> Browse local files,
+then extract the contents of legacy\ into that directory.
