Can I run ROS on my computer? I am just starting ROS and wanted to know if I can run it on my laptop

I have a Windows 10 laptop, with Intel i3 processor(10th gen), and 12 gb ram, with Intel UHD graphics 620, it is not a gaming laptop, and does not have a dedicated graphics card. Can I practice ROS on this laptop?
Yes, it's more than enough.
Here is a link to installation tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Windows
On this website you can find ROS Development Studio it's a cloud virtual machine with pre-installed ROS and you can try what you have in mind without installing ROS locally.

Couldn't rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node

I am following the beginner rosnode tutorial http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/UnderstandingNodes
The environment is Windows 10 / WSL. When I enter command "rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node" after running "roscore", I get the following error:
wn-003% rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
zsh: abort (core dumped) rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node
Are there any solutions to this? Thanks.
WLS doesn't support graphical interfaces. You need to initialize some "x server for windows" application, like Xming and then type this line in WLS terminal:
export DISPLAY=:0
ROS has a great open source ecosystem and support for Linux Operating system. For a beginner, it is better to get hands-on experience directly on a Linux machine as it is easier and you'll get good support for errors you encounter.
ROS does work on windows but it requires Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which is a compatibility layer which allows running a whole bunch of Linux binaries natively on Windows 10. With the advent of the Windows 10 Creators Update, the WSL was heavily updated and now is able to run ROS lunar and melodic.
You will also need to install BASH shell on your windows 10 machine.
Follow this article by Microsoft for installing WSL and BASH : install WSL on windows

how to run ruby on rails program in ubuntu installed in vmware?

I am trying to install ruby on rails on my windows. But after searching , I came to know that the best combination for ruby is either MAC or LINUX OS. But I m having laptop with windows 10. So can i install and run ruby and rails in UBUNTU inside VMware or which is the best option available?
Not sure what version of Windows 10 you have, but if you have the version that supports Hyper-V you have two good options.

Using either Oracle's Virtual Box or Hyper-V you can basically have a dedicated VM on your local box in the time it takes to download a pre-packaged box. I used this for a long time, though I now use http://c9.io as a cloud based IDE.
Step 1. Download the Oracle VM Virtual box from here.
Step 2. Download the Ubuntu ISO file. 64 bit Windows supports both 32 bit as
well as 64 bit guest OS. If your machine is a 64 bit machine then
download ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.
Step 3. Enable Intel vt-x from the BIOS menu.
Step 4. Disable Hyper-V platform from Turn windows features on or off.
Step 5. Insert the ISO image into the virtual CD/DVD drive as instructed here.
Step 6. Once the Ubuntu is installed on your VM. Install virtual box guest additions and it will be mounted inside the /media folder and at the right hand corner there will be a button to install the software and you're done with your setup.
