FERMAT GRAPHIC goes here.

Above image created with the old float version of Fermat.

The latest versions of Fermat can now run on Windows, thanks to the efforts of Bogdan Radu. Windows 10 introduced a new feature, named WSL (or the Windows Subsystem for Linux), which allows a user to natively run Linux applications within a Windows environment. See the instructions available here written by Bogdan Radu. May 2021.
