Not all gems can be made to work in Windows at all, in any case there will be problems. Either install Linux as a second system, or in a virtual machine, or once you have 10 you can try https://gorails.com/setup/windows/10 (a question on this topic Is it possible to work on Ruby on Rails in Windows 10, as it were in ubuntu ? ).
