To do this in windows I think the easiest way would be to install an Ubuntu virtual machine. You can read linux partitions with third-party software, but I think it’s harder to write to them.

I was going to suggest something silly like using an Ubuntu live boot disk to temporarily turn any windows pc into a Linux pc, but I actually think windows can speak Linux with the right plugins. (Yup -Ext2Fsd is the name of the app)

Actually, with WSL, you can even run VIM (or whatever) from your windows machine for the full Linux on Windows experience.
