+### Bootstrap Consul on Windows VMs
+
+If you are running Consul on a Windows VM, the `consul connect envoy` command returns the following output:
+
+```shell-session hideClipboard
+Directly running Envoy is only supported on linux and macOS since envoy itself doesn't build on other plataforms currently.
+Use the -bootstrap option to generate the JSON to use when running envoy on a supported OS or via a container or VM.
+```
+
+To bootstrap Envoy on Windows VMs, you must generate the bootstrap configuration as a .json file and then manually edit it to add both your ACL token and a valid access log path.
+
+First, add the `-bootstrap` option to the command and save the output to a file:
+
+```shell-session
+$ consul connect envoy -bootstrap > bootstrap.json
+```
+
+Then, open `bootstrap.json` and add your ACL token and log path to the file.
+
+To complete the bootstrap process, start Envoy and include the path to `bootstrap.json`:
+
+```shell-session
+envoy -c <C://path/to/bootstrap.json>
+```
+
+~> **Tip**: The `bootstrap.json` file contains your ACL token. Because the file is no longer needed after bootstrapping is complete, delete it to protect your network.

 ## Dynamic Configuration
 
 Consul automatically generates Envoy's dynamic configuration based on its
