as a student who approached Bigbang as a Python beginner, the best way to go around the Windows vs. Unix problem without a virtual machine is to use Colab. Of course, it would be great to have a more structured Windows documentation, but since you're already
developing some Colab work, I believe that's the way to go. Just my two cents though

I don't know if they are beginners or not. When I started this was all new to me (including the use of a virtual machine), so I'm sending pieces of info that may be redundant. From our previous conversations I understand they are more well-versed than I was,
