From my casual browsing it seems my machine (where g++ is g++-7.2 here on Ubuntu 7.10) already has it -- newer g++ included it. On Windows you will be constrained. Maybe at some point with a newer Windows 10 you can cheat and use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (or whatever it is called). In the meantime, just use AWS, a cheap laptop, or some other means. It is good technology -- use it, make a business case and use that to get your corporate windows-only constraint relaxed. At least one can hope...
