Can I develope Magento on a web server (AWS) instead of my home computer?

I cannot get Magento to function properly on my Windows 10 machine. I cannot afford to buy another computer and install Linux.

Can I develop A Magento site directly on a web server rather than locally? For example, Amazon Web Service?

Yes you can even set your site on AWS too. Its fast as it works on cloud computing technique. First year is free and then you can pay it as per your sells, and requirements. This is good in aws that it charges according to your sites sells and uses and visitors.

Refer http://docs.aws.amazon.com/quickstart/latest/magento/welcome.html for details

Thanks for your input.

I have been running into road block after road block trying to install a virtual machine on my Windows 10 so I can run Linux (Ubuntu), so I can install LAMP, composer, Magento 2, etc.

Today, just when I thought I was almost successfully finished, I ran into this error even though I entered the right username and password (public key and private key).:

[Composer\Downloader\TransportException]                                     
  Invalid credentials for 'https://repo.magento.com/archives/magento/composer  
  /magento-composer-1.0.2.0.zip', aborting. 

I will post a question about this tomorrow.

Now I am wondering if AWS is the easier way to develop.
