Windows is not unix, and despite the existence of things line con: and | =
you can't easily transport unix flexibility onto Windows shell.

However, I believe you can install bash in Windows 10. In fact, you can =

Not sure if that will help you or not, but it might be worth losing into =
(I'm not a Windows person, Windows is the thing I avoid when possible).

Options include Ubuntu, Debian, and others.
