I think this is your answer? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38786014/how-to-compile-executable-for-windows-with-gcc-with-linux-subsystem
Though the easiest way imo would be to run a windows 7 vm and compile your code in there

To compile something for a particular platform requires a few things.
1. You need a compiler and linker that will produce the correct binary.
2. You need to link to the proper binaries that are present on that particular platform.
That's about it. It just a matter of downloading a compiler/linker that will output the correct binary format and have the additional header and associated binaries present.
