I think you could install a GCC version for Windows through Cygwin. When I was programming on Windows, I was using an IDE, Code::Blocks.

There are many ways to compile code on Windows similar to Linux.

If you used an IDE on Linux, then Code::Blocks is a great suggestion, as is Visual C++.

If you used the command line then you can install Mingw which is like GCC and works through the command line, it takes the exact same syntax as GCC too, so you'll be familiar with it.

Code::Blocks uses Mingw as a backend too, so if you want to play around with both you can.
