At the moment Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14316 or higher is required to enable Bash functionality and there are some limitations. Further functionality is being made available in future releases. The following are the steps required to enable Bash on Windows:
1. Using version Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14316 or higher, navigate to Settings > Update & Security > For developers
2. Select the Developer mode switch to enable Developer Mode
3. Navigate to Control Panel > Programs and select Turn Windows features on or off
4. Select Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta) and click OK In the Windows Features window
5. With the installation now complete, the computer will reboot to enable Bash on Windows 10
6. Click on the start menu, type BASH and accept the Terms and Conditions
7. Click on the start menu again and type BASH or Ubuntu to run the Bash shell
The same Linux terminal commands are used within the Bash shell. The following are a few basic commands to be used in the Bash shell.
- List Directory Contents: ls
- Change Directory: cd

- Copy a File: cp
