One other possibility if you can't work through any issues, Windows 10 
has fairly decent Linux support, and/or consider running a lightweight 
Linux in a Hyper-V VM (Windows 10 Pro, most flavours of Windows Server).

Neither of these are as clean as running natively in Windows, but when a 
project doesn't actively maintain a particular platform it is sometimes 
an overall better result.
