Welcome, Ramsha!

You always can use a Virtual Machine (VM) on Windows. I personally use Fedora, but you can use any distribution.

1. First, I recommend you to read about Devstack [1] (It's a series of scripts used to quickly bring up a complete OpenStack environment)
2. Try to follow the guide [1] and install Devstack on the host machine.
3. Read the [2] developers guide.

Maybe this guide is old but could help you [3].

Let me know if you have any questions!
