Two small changes in using/windows (#159438)
Thes are based on Steve Dower's answer (to my questions) at https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-16-0-alpha-1-is-now-available/109466/11. Update sentence about updates to note that site-packages and Scripts directories are left alone. Add a link to the administer configuration section. --------- Co-authored-by: Steve Dower <steve.dower@microsoft.com>
