I’m following a tutorial to set up dev environment on Windows, I installed Windows Subsystem for Linux of Rust toolchain and yet when I tried to install ‘fuelup’ tools it returns “Unsupported OS type”  
Please help!

I am not Windows user, however, maybe Docker would be helpful? Either as Dockerfile or DevContainers?  
(Otherwise, quick search suggest that some people succeed with Nix/NixOS on WSL, then fuel.nix repo may turn helpful.)
