My experience suggests Bash on Windows has not been released to everyone.

Today I thought I'd try Bash on Win.

Requirements: you need to have the right updates, and  some other 
criteria; it was  "insider track" in March.

I turned developer mode up a notch, then I tried the GUI method. Under 
settings; windows features it  did not  show the Linux subsystem as an 
option to click.

There's a commandline method. I used powershell (run as administrator) 
to run the  enable incantation,  it errored - did not recognise the 
feature to be enabled.

These failures were on  Windows 10 home version  Specifically 10.0.10586 
Build 10586.

I guess Bash on Win is still in Beta, so not for home users yet. I'll 
try it on Win 10 Pro if I can find time to.

I don't need help with this, I just thought you might like to know that 
not all Windows 10 versions are equal.

Jay
