Everything should be the same except for steps involving flashing the esp8266 (anything involving the terminal). The firmware is the same though. You just need to find a tutorial for flashing an esp using Windows (there are a lot in YouTube)

I personally like this one:

And if you have a bit more time on your hands and your flashing works, then try this for automated flashing without pulling pins high/low:
