Bash shell (Ubuntu) on the command prompt (Windows 8)

I'd like to access the ssh server on a Asus with Windows 8 OS from my MBP 2012 with Ubuntu distribution. Is it possible to install the bash shell on Windows 8? I ask this question, because I'd like to use the same commands I use normally with Ubuntu, but on Windows 8.

No. The feature is Windows 10-only. From the installation guide:

Prerequisites

  1. Your PC must be running a 64-bit version of Windows 10 Anniversary Update build 14393 or later

Instead, you can use Cygwin, Msys2, etc.
