When I last used Windows (a zillion years ago), I used vim via [Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com). That way I could install all the other Unix command line tools, and even [recompile Vim [instructions via this link]](http://superuser.com/questions/382430/building-vim-with-python-support-in-cygwin) with the right things enabled.
These days there are more alternatives to Cygwin, like "[Ubuntu on Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about)".
