We haven't tested solo on windows. However, we should ensure it can be run on windows. If not, we need to create tickets to resolve those issues.

### Tasks
- [ ] Insall required package for solo, such as kind, helm, nodejs for windows environment
- [ ] Solo unit test for windows environment
- [ ] Solo end to end test for windows environment
- [ ] kindest/node support for windows

Currently we mentioned that solo can be used on darwin and linux: https://github.com/hashgraph/solo/blob/main/package.json#L71

If it it can be run on windows, we may update that line in package.json.

Summary of current experiments:

kind/node and minikube does not support to run on windows
Github runners currently only support WSL1 on windows
Could not install nodejs with WSL1 ubuntu distribution, either get cannot execute binary file: Exec format error or WSL 1 is not supported. Please upgrade to WSL 2 or above
Github large runners can support WSL2 if nested virtualization is enabled

With GCP Windows server instance

Could not run Ubuntu after installation with error Please enable the Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. For information please visit https://aka.ms/enablevirtualization
Tried enable nested virtualization https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/nested-virtualization/enabling, still got the same error

Tried with different machine types (N2, C3) on GKE, once enabled nested virtualization. https://raaki-88.medium.com/enabling-nested-virtualisation-on-google-cloud-platform-instance-7f80f3120834 no longer able to connect to remote instance with Microsoft Remote Desktop
