Usually you just start typing like "vs2015 x64" and the start menu shows the correct links. The correct shells are listed on the wiki already.

For Step 1, the "build directory" > c:\php-sdk can be on a different drive and "php-sdk" can be a sub-directory. This is not correct.

This is not correct. The 32-bit build won't have any prefix. Also the location is only relevant as long as no custom object dir is used. I'd suggest you to work a bit more with the various build variants first, before running for wiki edits. Maybe also work more with VS itself and compilation on Windows, as that's not the part to be explained in that wiki page. The most of the intended edits look misleading to me right now. Thanks.
