On windows there is also Laragon. Its great and reaaally simple. Just an installer, and an EXE to start the nginx, mysql, redis, node, and it comes with git, composer, and a bash-like-terminal, and auto-update your hosts file when you add a new project. Also you can change your php or mysql version with a couple of clicks. In my work PC (windows) I use vagrant since forever, but in my home pc just installed laragon and it is great for what I used it.
