When you do that you should get (something like) the following

-------------------
*** Welcome to IELM ***  Type (describe-mode) for help.
ELISP> user-init-file
"/home/renato/.emacs.d/init.el"
ELISP> user-emacs-directory
"~/.emacs.d/"
ELISP> (getenv "HOME")
"/home/renato"
ELISP> (getenv "USERPROFILE")
nil
ELISP> 
-------------------

In any case please check the above 4 things -- 2 variables and 2 getenv -- on 
both linux and windows and report back.

[And yes, M-x means Escape followed by x, or Alt and x together like Shift and 
A together which gets you a capital A. And dont ask why the unintuitive name like M- for that!
