Unlike the popular belief that it can't be installed on Windows, it is possible to do so using any virtualization software. Here I'm using Hyper-V to do so and have also tested that it works with VmWare. So, even if you don't have a dedicated device(read Rasberry-Pi) or don't use a linux system as your daily driver, it is possible to use the same using the aforesaid softwares.
