Are both Postgres instances(12.4 and 13.0) on the same machine?

If they are and you used the EDB installer the binaries(pg_dump for
instance) will be under:

C:\Program File\PostgreSQL\<version_number>\bin

If they are not then you will either have to use the version 13 of
pg_dump that is on the other machine or install version 13 of Postgres
on your machine.

Also be aware that if you are trying to dump a version 13 instance and
restore it to a version 12 instance of Postgres you will probably have
issues beyond that of the pg_dump version. The dump/restore process is
not designed to go backwards.
