Linux within Windows 10 Whether you are a Linux/ Unix user, don't find Windows friendly or want to run simple clever stuff in bash shell that Windows shell simply cannot handle, you'll love it. Windows 10 has built in Windows subsystem for Linux delivering native support for Linux features. This is not a virtual machine running in any hypervisor program, no Hyper-V, VMWare Workstation or Oracle Virtualbox required. Because it works natively you also have access to windows drives and directories which is very useful if you want to run any scripts or even grep or awk type commands on files in your windows directories. So how do you do it? It is very simple and here are the steps you have to carry out. Press Windows+R and enter " OptionalFeatures " in Open box and click OK to run. From Windows Features form select "Windows Subsystem for Linux" and hit OK. Wait for it to find required files and complete installation. Select Restart and wait for it
