If you are serious about Android Modding as a Windows PC user then an Ubuntu OS and a Github account are a must have. You could decide to create a partition on your Hard Disk (see how to partition a storage device @ https://www.hovatek.com/blog/how-to-part...n-windows/  ) and install Ubuntu on the newly created partition or run Ubuntu on a virtual machine.

Note: You might need to enable Virtualization Technology in BIOS
