The mlir and lldb windows bots will both need to be updated to 2019/2022. We haven't been building with 2022, so I am not sure how stable the builds will be if we moved to it (though I hope it just works). We can plan to update both bots to use 2019/2022 this week before our whole teams goes on vacation.

It works with or without the space, but it reads better with the space.

I think it makes more sense to make it 2019 because I expect most people to still be using 2019 and it's convenient to have instructions that just work. Maybe add both?
