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 install an entire linux bistro right into Windows 10.

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.
