According to the wiki nix could be installed on WSL1.

See: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_Installation_Guide#WSL1_.28pre-Windows_10_2004_build_19041.29

While it is possible that the upstream scripts may be able to install Nix on WSL1, unfortunately, we don't explicitly support that in our nix-installer. You may be able to get it working by running with --init none and one (or both) of --extra-conf "sandbox = false" and --extra-conf "filter-syscalls = false".
