Please document steps to build, especially that Win7 compatibility is broken #21

Hi, total C# noob here, wanted to check out how the code looks and tried to build. Didn't think to look into the appveyor file where some steps are documented. After some googling I found out that the Notifications break Win7 support, I can still get 14ccf0918b70694fccd772d1a633f471eae38e79 built now with my FrankenToolchain of VS Code + .net + nuget.exe.

Please document how to build this, a single paragraph should be sufficient, and mention that master doesn't work on Windows 7 anymore.

Ah crap. Turns out the way I changed project dependencies to so I could use winmd files without project hacks must have broke it.

Happy to help out from the viewpoint of an "I generally develop on Linux" person, I liked what I saw with Capella but wanted to build it myself (on Win7, without Visual Studio) to poke around. ;)
