Control Apple Earpods in-line remote on Windows

No, your Windows laptop is unlikely to have a socket that connects to all four connections on the headphone jack, and even if it does it is likely that it will only look for a microphone not the signals that the headphones use to control Apple devices. I guess in principle other manufacturers could design their laptops to be compatible, but this isn't something you could configure yourself.

There is nothing to control. It consists of three switches and a microphone. The switches control the Apple device it is plugged into, raising or lowering the volume, starting, stopping or skipping playback, or initiating voice control.
