Thanks for the link, "Ubuntu subsystem wsl for windows 10".  When I get a bit more comfortable with Windows 10 I will  definitely  try it.
I also  have to use  MS Access.  I used it years  ago but have to come  back up to speed.  I found a great resource in Microsoft Access 2019 Bible from Wiley.  It  1000+ pages, but that is necessary  to have  good examples and code that works.   I would like to find a similar document  on  Windows 10.

Thanks again for your help.  I will  keep you posted.

From my own experience, using Linux is easier and can be done from within Windows 10!

Thanks for the response to my request for information on installing Geany and Java on my new Windows 10 system.  I am very new to Windows 10 and am bogged down in that.  I will have to get better at Windows 10 before I take on Java and Geany.

You are correct that Java is not included with Geany, you have to
install your preferred Java toolchain and runtime yourself. Once you've
done that and ensured the location containing the `javac` and `java`
executables is in your `%PATH%` environment variable, Geany's default
build commands should "just work". If you don't put the Java binaries in
your `PATH` variable, you will have to edit Geany's build commands to
specify the full absolute path to those tools.
