• Make sure you've searched for existing issues, both open and closed
• Make sure you've searched for PRs too, a fix might've been merged already
• You're looking at docs for the released version, "main" branch docs are usually ahead of released versions.

What happened?

This issue is related to #5381.
I'm trying to create a specific single node k0s cluster on Ms Windows 2022 server (for specific R&D purpose).
As far as the documentation goes, k0s is supported on Windows server 2019 (cf.https://docs.k0sproject.io/stable/system-requirements/#host-operating-system).
I suppose this is just for worker and not for controller but not sure.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download https://github.com/k0sproject/k0s/releases/download/v1.31.3%2Bk0s.0/k0s-v1.31.3+k0s.0-amd64.exe onto your Ms Windows machine
2. Open a command line as an Administrator
   3.Type "…/k0s-v1.31.3+k0s.0-amd64.exe install controller --single"
3. See the error message

Expected behavior

An error should indicate that this subcommand is not available for Windows. (And even in the help message).

Actual behavior

When typing the subcommand, it run well and return the following error message:

k0s/cmd/install/controller.go

Line 47 in 7edf778

return errors.New("this command must be run as root")

Exactly. Upstream Kubernetes doesn't support running the control plane components on Windows: only worker components are supported. So you need to connect your Windows nodes to a Linux control plane.
