There does not appear to be a "README.txt" file for Windows installation in
either the main SageMath repository or the website repository. If such a
file ever existed, it's long gone. I even checked at archive.org for a
backup copy, but since the robots.txt file has been blocking the /mirror/
directory since 2009 they don't have one either.
The simplest solution is to delete the link from the documentation, unless
someone wants to create the file.
