How did you install Postgres on the Windows machine?
If through the graphical installer from EDB, you might want to to see if
tds_fdw is offered through the Stack Builder?

Hi - rookie user here.
I'd like to access data on my Microsoft sql database from my postgres
database.
I stumbled upon the tds_fdw extension and it reads as if it it's *nix only.
Would acquiring tds_fdw.control from one of the repos possibly work on
a windows-based postgres installed database?
Building source code on windows is radically different than doing so on unix, so no. The only thing that might work is setting up a cygwin environment and seeing if it will build in that.
BTW, if you want to get an easier introduction to using unix than switching to an actual linux/unix get a Mac. The command line is unix.
