LND provides binaries for Windows and you can use a GUI-based web app such as Ride-The-Lightning (RTL). They provide fairly comprehensive documentation to get started: <https://dev.lightning.community/tutorial/>

I also wrote a tutorial, which has been updated for 2022: <https://medium.com/@johnny_pham/guide-setup-a-lightning-network-node-on-windows-8475206807f>

It uses command line but I mention RTL at the end. The RTL GitHub repository provides easy installation instructions.
