Windows 10: Running a Unix alongside Windows 10

I have windows 10 latest running on a PC. I now need to run some version of Unix/Linux on the same machine for some weird software.

What is the best way to arrange this?


Thanks,

Unix Commands in Windows Power Shell

Dear Microsoft,

I would like to thank you for emulating the Unix commands in the Windows 10 PowerShell. I have been migrating my development environment from Unix to Windows and being able to use my Unix muscle memory to list, copy, remove, and execute files has been a
hugely helpful!

 

Which Unix Do You Use?

Also, since this is about Unix based OSes, why is everyone listing their Windows version? Besides, how is Unix related to a mac vs PC discussion?

 

Services for Unix 3.5 uninstall from windows 7 to allow upgrade to windows 10 (SFU 3.5)

Sure - unfortunately none of them work. All suggestions are basically: Try installer x - where that installer does not see the App installed, or go back to a recovery disk (which I don't have). I suspect there are some Registry Keys I can't see that need
to be cleaned out and the App installers don't work because whatever the main one is is not there! e.g. on [Solved]Microsoft Windows Services for Unix 3.5 Completely Uninstalled - its says the following. But
these keys don't exist! So I'm no netter off!

2. Delete registry entries of Microsoft Windows Services for Unix 3.5 CAREFULLY

• *HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft Windows Services for Unix 3.5
• *HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft Windows Services for Unix 3.5

3. Search throughout the hard drive and delete all associated files

• *C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Services for Unix 3.5
• *C:\Documents and Settings\A\Application Data\Microsoft Windows Services for Unix 3.5
