BOSH works with Windows machines.

Most of the pain is building stemcells (the target disk image). Microsoft haven't quite made their peace with the idea.

Have you looked into the Windows features of Ansible or SaltStack? Would be interested to hear about experiences with them.

I would like to adopt something for configuration of my personal machines. Desktop and tablet running Windows 10, laptop running macOS.

If possible I'd prefer to use one tool for both OSes.

Nix supposedly works in the new Linux subsystem of Windows 10, but I haven't tried it.

Nix itself does indeed work on the latest version of WSL. However, there are still issues with building most of the packages from nixpkgs. For instance, I'm still waiting for this issue to be solved: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/1878

Other distros are also affected by these issues, so I think they'll be solved eventually.
