##### How do I install Zsh on Windows?
You can't install Zsh directly on Windows. As a consequence, can't install Oh My Zsh either.
To use Zsh on windows, you need Windows 10 2004 or 11, and one of the following:
* [Cygwin](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Installing-ZSH#cygwin)
* [WSL](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Installing-ZSH#ubuntu-debian--derivatives-windows-10-wsl--native-linux-kernel-with-windows-10-build-1903) (note that this requires you to first [install WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install))
If you're running earlier versions of Windows, you can't install it at all. You'll need a virtual machine, or a proper Linux install.
