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:

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
