Another option (assuming your computer has enough ram and disk space) is
to run a copy of Linux in Vmware Player (which is available for free).  It
allows you to run the Linux environment in a virtual computer as if it was
an application on windows.  Then you can test the most recent release of
Asterisk (version 13 at the moment).
