I was unable to make progress with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) because of firewall issues and the lame networking stack (see https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues for a sampling) but someone else said they could apt-get  MPICH 3.2 without issue. 

I'd love to verify but I do not have a computer with enough space for a Win10 VM that isn't behind a firewall. Hopefully someone else can verify and document for MPICH FAQ.

I noticed Damian's issue here and a few folks on comp.lang.fortran reporting that they get gcc-4.x in WSL out of the box.

The versions of dependencies (all obtained via apt-get install) are:
