As of Windows 10, Microsoft supports running Linux and Linux programs on the Windows OS. Installation instructions can be found at [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10]. If you follow those instructions for using WSL2 (post-Windows 10 2004 build 19041), you can install Nix normally as described in [[Nix_Installation_Guide#Single-user_install|Single-user install]]. You can check what version of WSL you are using by running <code>wsl --list --verbose</code> from the Windows command line.
