I’m not, but this person is also running into some issues: [Build ipfs from Windows 7 64 bit OS with Go1.10.2](https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/build-ipfs-from-windows-7-64-bit-os-with-go1-10-2/2987)

I don’t have access to my windows computer right now. But this is what worked for me in the past: [https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/windows.md#minimal](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/windows.md#minimal)
