Hi,

I am not a programmer but I require the use of Emacs/auctex in Windows so I can 
work in latex using voice recognition.

Because I’m not a programmer the issues or questions I may have may be very 
basic so apologies.

I am following  the detailed instructions for installing auctex found here 
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Installation-under-MS-Windows.html

So far I have completed successfully steps 1 to 7.  I have a question regarding 
step 8. Step 8 specifies that you should open “some shell (typically Bash)  
capable of running configure”.  As I am working on Windows there is no native 
bash shell that can run the configure command.  It wasn’t specified but how do 
you work around this?

Is the only method to complete this step to activate the “window subsystem for 
Linux” feature in Windows 10? Or is there another method that may be more 
straightforward?

I felt like I wanted to ask before continuing because I have first-hand 
experience with the precariousness of installing Linux  software on a Windows 
machine.  I wasted a lot of time in the past trying to install Vim plug-ins in 
GVim on Windows.  I eventually give up which is now why I am trying Emacs :-)

Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated!
Regards,
Mike
