I would just like to be able to have my own linux command line on Windows 7. I do have Putty installed but I have no idea how to access a simple linux command line. I just basically need the basic commands that any Linux OPERATING SYSTEM has.
Install Cygwin (https://www.cygwin.com). Cygwin is a Unix-like environment and command-line interface for Microsoft Windows. Cygwin provides native integration of Windows-based applications, data, and other system resources with applications, software tools, and data of the Unix-like environment.

I have a windows computer and connect to Linux on a remote server for my experiments. I want to use an easy interface software from windows to my Linux server (ubuntu 18.04). Can you give some tips on how to increase productivity in such a workflow?
Putty is fast, but AFAIK, does not support tabs, you will have to open different windows for different tasks, unless you use a terminal multiplexer like screen.
Try Mobaxterm and see if you like it. It is free, and supports multiple tabs, very handy for a single session.

I would like to be a user with root access, when developing in Visual Studio Code on my local machine.
I read many posts about this but they all depend on using something with su or sudo. Unfortunately, in my case both return "bash: su(do): command not found".
How can I enable root access for myself?
MSYS/MinGW is essentially just a collection of linux utilities compiled as windows executables. It is not actually linux, so linux concepts, like the root user, do not apply. Similarly, tools that only work on linux, like nvm, also will not work in MSYS. If you want something that is actually linux, check out the Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL.

is there a way to view the file permissions for a file in a Windows that will give the same output like as Linux machine (e.g. -rw-rw-r--)?
Thanks.
You can install the GNU Win32 tools.
It contains a lot of useful Linux/Unix tools for Windows.
That includes ls.
And unlike Cygwin, it's Windows native exe's. No need for cygwin.
See here: https://u-tools.com/msls.asp
And here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net

A bit of a silly question , please forgive my lack though, new UNIX user .
I have an setup_test.exe file if there a way that i can make it "run-install" or compile it in UNIX based machine, or I need the source code to start with?
thanks in advance
If this executable came from the Windows environment, it won't run under UNIX/Linux without lots of help.
Two options:
If you have the source code and the application doesn't rely on a lot of Windows specific libraries, you could try compiling it in your current environment.
The WINE emulator can often run Windows executables, depending again on what libraries from Windows are used.
If it isn't a Windows exe and is native to your current environment, then ./exename.exe should work provided you have the permissions to execute it.
