I'm currently running an instance on Ubuntu but I'm wondering if it can be moved to my windows computer?

I believe it can be, but what I've found in general with respect to my fediverse journey is that pretty much everything is built for Linux. If you want to use windows, you'll likely have to blaze a trail for yourself.

I had one windows PC in my server farm initially, but installed Linux after I realized most things I wanted to run really wanted me to be running Linux.
