How do I keep animated gifs when exporting to PPT?

I need to give a PPT presentation and it is filled with animated gifs- they work in keynote, but not PPT. I usually just pull up the PPT from my email and play it like that, but all the animated gifs say "Quicktime and a GIF decompressor are needed to see this picture". I created it in keynote and need to present it on a PC at school.

I have one of those dongles that hookup my iPhone to my tv.....I don't know if that would be helpful in some way or not?

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Export the presentation from Keynote containing the GIFs as a pptx filetype
Open the exported file in Powerpoint, (or if you don't have it, download and install Libra Office, this is freeware and will open and edit powerpoint files).
select each GIF on the slides, then set it to loop in: Format Movie > Playback Options > select loop in the dropdown menu
Save and test
