If you're ever forced to use Windows, just install nushell. The speedup is wild, and along with it comes many nice quality of life features.

Nushell is good on the Unixes as well, but the defaults there are less annoying. I regularly revert to bash because there's just some thing I've memorized in bash, and bash doesn't make me want to scream.

Note that this is just my perspective on it as an interactive shell. I've never used it for scripting.

Windows already has a very good shell called PowerShell.

Powershell itself can be noticably slow to even start. Waiting a minute or two to hit a prompt is just annoying. Yes this only happens if you run Windows on a spinning disk but it's a shell. It's shouldn't require an SSD to run.
