There is now a  native  solution on Windows 10  after enabling Bash on Windows  you can enter Bash shell by typing bash     You can run Bash script like bash   script sh  but keep in mind that C drive is located at  mnt c  and external hard drives are not mountable  So you might need to change your script a bit so it is compatible to Windows    Also  even as root  you can still get permission denied when moving files around in  mnt  but you have your full root power in the   file system    Also make sure your shell script is formatted with Unix style  or there can be errors

If you add the extension  SH to the environment variable PATHEXT  you will be able to run shell scripts from PowerShell by only using the script name with arguments   PS gt    script sh args   If you store your scripts in a directory that is included in your PATH environment variable  you can run it from anywhere  and omit the extension and path   PS gt  script args   Note  sh exe or another  nix shell must be associated with the  sh extension
