Is it possible to use PowerShell (win 10) to access Linux command line on anther Linux device (raspberry pi).

I just want to run an adblocker (pi-hole) and the unifi controller on it but will need to access command line to administer it.
There's probably a few ways of doing this but would prefer Windows 10 built-in tools if possible to minimise installing extra apps etc.

Google SSH or Telnet, & PowerShell.

You can turn on "Windows Subsystem for Linux" (Under add Windows Features) which will give you a native ubuntu shell that you can use to SSH to remove linux devices. However if that's all you want to do, Just download Putty.

Thanks for that - looked good until I saw the bit about setting windows to developer mode. really wanting to use vanilla windows tools so I can use any device I have without installing or mucking about with stuff. looks like I'll have to stick with Putty.
