You know, I'm always reluctant to recommend it, because it can 
definitely get you tied in knots.  But you're about the ideal candidate 
for looking into https://www.cygwin.com/

When my primary PC had to be Windows I used it fairly successfully for 
years.  It works quite well for many things, and can be bullied into 
working well enough for others.  It will probably do what you seem like 
you might want, which is a functioning shell under Windows, and yes it 
works all the way back to XP.  At the low low price of free, you'll 
definitely get your money's worth.
