>is there a way i can use the same Linux web interface in the Windows environment

Yes.

I'll guess that your linux machine is using Apache webserver and php.

Your website is served up from the webroot folder, which can be called webroot, or htdocs or .... You'll need to determine that by searching your linux box.
Does the webroot contain a .htaccess file? If so, what's in it? It might be using options not supported in Windows. Apache is not 100% compatible on linux and Windows, but you have to make do, and workaround any differences.

https://httpd.apache.org/

If there is .htaccess file, you probably should use Apache on Windows.
If there isn't, you have the choice of Apache or IIS.

Either download Apache web server, or install Windows IIS from Control Panel | Programs and Features | Turn Windows features on or off.

If your current site is php files, then you'll need to install php on your windows machine.

http://windows.php.net/

Once you have a webserver and php installed and running, copy the contents of the webroot from linux to the wwwroot folder on your Windows machine and you should be good to go.

Good luck,
Barry.
