In [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/system-config.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/system-config.html), I found an overview of settings that need to be considered for production usage. For some of these settings I see a note saying they're only relevant to Linux. For the "Ensure sufficient virtual memory" and "Ensure sufficient threads" settings, I do not see this note. However, I also haven't been able to find any information on if and how these settings should be changed for Windows. So do I need to consider these settings for Windows?
