I haven't seen anybody mention this (sorry if I missed a comment),
but what is the need? At least on Windows 10+ you can easily run a
native Linux BIND in Microsoft's WSL/WSL2 subsystem.
I bought a Windows computer some months back, being sure I would
immediately install Linux on it. Well, I did in a way: wsl.exe is
real Linux and mostly works well. I was doing my first "dig" that
first day.
That said WSL does have some DNS bugs, but nothing you can't work
around. I do network troubleshooting for a living, and it's nice
having a complete GNU environment at hand.
WSL has made Windows adequate for me. I might keep it!
