Anaconda is quite a bit different on each platform.

To start a virtual environment on Windows, you need to use the cmd.exe or powershell.exe prompt. But it is important to use the correct virtual environment during creation. You should make a note of the virtual environment and the desired version of Python.

To create the virtual environment venv

use the \path\to\python\Scripts\virtualenv --python=\path\to\python\python.exe venv

then to activate the virtual environment venv

venv\Scripts\activate.bat
