I am a first time user of ROS and I wanted to know if i could install the ROS platform on a windows PC? I have never used ROS and I don't have Linux in my pc. What should I do? What do you recomend? Thanks for your input. Herman.
First of all, you should start from the official documentation: link. Since I supposed, you want to install ROS2, I gave you the link to it. If you want ROS, then look in the officlal website of ROS.

As I wrote in #q414656, if you're just starting out (and it seems you are just starting with ROS), I would not recommend trying to use Windows with ROS 1.
If this is ROS 2, you have a somewhat bigger chance of getting things working, but realistically, I would probably still recommend you get started using Ubuntu.
While it would require installing Linux on a PC/laptop, you will have a much smoother experience and a (very) large community to help you out if you post questions.
