How to install Windows Subsystem for Linux to use Rsync with Hugo on Windows 10 - Part 1

I am a huge fan of the Hugo framework for generating static sites. When building with Hugo, I wanted to be able to deploy my site using rsync. Rysnc allows for fast, one click file transfers to my server and can be configured to transfer only the new or changed files. Unfortunately, Windows does not support this out of the box. BUT, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) would allow me to access the rysnc function without having to dual boot.
