⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix inconsistent code block formatting.

The verification command gcc --version should be in a code block for consistency with the Linux and macOS sections.

In `@README.md` around lines 55 - 59, In the Windows section the verification
command `gcc --version` is not in a code block; update the Windows block (the
"Windows" heading and its bullet list) to wrap the verification command in a
fenced code block (use ```bash on the opening fence and ``` on the closing
fence) so it matches the Linux/macOS formatting and shows the command as code.


### Linux (Ubuntu / Debian)
Open a terminal and run:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
gcc --version
```
### macOS
```bash
xcode-select --install
gcc --version
```
