From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Probably, but this is not the place to ask if you want answers. This forum is for Linux discussion, not Windows, and while I could get this set up in Linux for you, I wouldn't even know where to start with Windows, as I haven't used it in a decade. You'll see a lot of the same with experienced Linux users here. Most of us will not be able to help you. I recommend you ask in a Windows forum instead, as you'll have a much greater chance of finding someone knowledgeable to help. Maybe there's a forum for Windows command line (or Powershell? I don't know what they're calling it these days).
Understood. Will do that. Thanks.
