  Don't worry, GnuPG is available for windows.

  Go to the binaries section of that page (just scroll down), the one
you want is:
  GnuPG 1.4.9 compiled for Microsoft Windows.  (click on the FTP link)

  Probably you will need to add GnuPG manually to the path global
environment variable.

  I don't know how to do it, but surely there is a way to do it, since
there are third parties GUIs (like GPGShell and Enigmail).

  Well, the program comes with an user manual, that explains how to use
it from command line. And the site has links to HowTo's and other
resources. I think the usage of GPG is the same, no matter the operating
system you are using, but I can be wrong about that. The manual included
in windows binaries works fine (open it using WordPad, or notepad).

  Best Regards
