Sure.

Note that if you follow these instructions, as requested, the *download*
happens on Windows, without Tor. But yeah, there's the need for an
extra "intermediary Tails", which is of course burdensome.

Unfortunately, in the current state of our on-disk partition layout
and boot process, and given how the landscape of live USB installers
on Windows looks like, it does not look realistic to drop the need for
that intermediary Tails any time soon. Sorry!

Cheers,
