 There are a few caveats when using Drupal VM on Windows, and this page will try to identify the main gotchas or optimization tips for those wishing to use Drupal VM on a Windows host.
 
+## Windows Subsystem for Linux / Ubuntu bash
+
+If you are running Windows 10 (Anniversary edition) or later, you can install the Windows Subsytem for Linux, which allows you to install an Ubuntu-based CLI inside of Windows. With this installed, you can then manage and run Drupal VM inside the Linux-like environment. Follow these steps to use Drupal VM in the WSL:
+
+ 1. Install Vagrant and VirtualBox in Windows (links in the [Drupal VM Quick Start Guide](https://github.com/geerlingguy/drupal-vm#quick-start-guide)).
+ 2. [Install/Enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide).
+ 1. Create an admin account for the Ubuntu Bash environment when prompted.
+ 3. Download the latest release of [cbwin](https://github.com/xilun/cbwin) and follow the [cbwin installation instructions](https://github.com/xilun/cbwin#installation).
+ 4. Open an instance of `outbash.exe`.
+ 5. In a local copy of Drupal VM (downloaded or Git cloned into a path that's in the Windows filesystem, e.g. `/mnt/c/Users/yourusername/Sites/drupal-vm`), run `wrun vagrant up`.
+
+If you need to run any other `vagrant` commands (with the exception of `vagrant ssh`—for now, that must be run in a different environment; see [Vagrant: Use Linux Subsystem on Windows](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/7731)), you can do so by prefixing them with `wrun`.
+
+> Note: using `wrun`, interactive prompts don't seem to work (e.g. if you run `vagrant destroy` without `-f`, you have to Ctrl-C out of it because it just hangs).
+>
+> Note 2: that the WSL is still in beta, and tools like `cbwin` are still undergoing rapid development, so some of these instructions are subject to change!

 ## Command line environment

+If you're not on Windows 10, or if you don't want to install the WSL, you can use PowerShell, Git Bash, Git Shell, or other PowerShell-based environments with Drupal VM and Vagrant; however you might want to consider using a more POSIX-like environment so you can more easily work with Drupal VM:
 
  - [Cmder](http://cmder.net/) includes built-in git and SSH support, so you can do most things that you need without any additional plugins.
  - [Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com/) allows you to install a large variety of linux packages inside its bash environment, though it can be a little more tricky to manage and is less integrated into the Windows environment.

  1. VirtualBox does not allow gets VMs to create symlinks in synced folders by default.
  2. Windows does not allow the creation of symlinks unless your local policy allows it; see [TechNet article](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn221947%28v=ws.10%29.aspx). Even if local policy allows it, many users experience problems in the creation of symlinks.
 
+Using Ubuntu bash under Windows 10 _can_ make this easier, but there are still issues when creating and managing symlinks between the bash environment and the guest Vagrant operating system.

 ### Git and File permissions
 
 If you're using a synced folder for your project, you should choose to either work _only_ inside the VM, or _only_ on the host machine. Don't commit changes both inside the VM and on the host unless you know what you're doing and have Git configured properly for Unix vs. Windows line endings. File permissions and line endings can be changed in ways that can break your project if you're not careful!
