MySQL on Windows 10

linux platform notes and hints often do not apply to Windows
edit my.ini with notepad++ do not use Windows notepad something about ANSI vs. UTF-8 text!
changing the location of the data directory is a goose chase.
extended directory attributes a nightmare to get right
datadir location has changed between MySQL 5.6 and 8.x
crash course in Windows services
