My question is can the same be accomplished with a Windows installation, as easily or similar to the RHEL installation/configuration procedures?

No. PG doesn't really have any specific support for the FIPS
requirements. From our perspective that's implemented by behavioral
changes in libc and openssl. Perhaps you can find FIPS-ified versions
of those libraries for Windows, but I don't know where to look.
