Hey John,

as you can see on the FreeSurfer download page, you need either a linux or macOS system to run FreeSurfer natively (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/DownloadAndInstall).

There are several ways to tackle your problem:

1. get a linux or macOS machine 2. run FreeSurfer within a virtual machine on your windows host, e.g. using the great NeuroDebian (http://neuro.debian.net/vm.html) 3. run FreeSurfer within a docker on your windows host, e.g. using the mindboggle docker (https://hub.docker.com/r/nipy/mindboggle/), which also comes with amazing additional software such as ANTS and mindboggle 4. apparently it’s also possible to run FreeSurfer on windows 10 these days, pls check here: http://nuclear-imaging.info/site_content/2016/09/12/installing-running-frees...

However, I assume most peeps would recommend running FreeSurfer within a system which was also used for development and testing.

HTH, best, Peer
