You have to update to Windows 10 version 1607. You can wait for Windows update
to update it for you or use the Windows update assistant from here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

After installing version 1607,  you have to enable developer mode:
Settings -> Update & Security -> For developers -> click the developer mode
radio button

After that, you need to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux:
Search for "Programs and Features", then click on "Turn Windows features on or
off". Now click on box for "Windows Subsystem for Linux" somewhere near the
bottom. Now reboot.

Still awake? After rebooting, open a command-line and type "bash", and wait for
your Ubuntu installation to finish. And you're pretty much done! So far, it
works the way I expect a text-based GNU/Linux system to behave.
