As I said, you can connect the Mac Mini to the PC monitor without any issues. Windows has nothing to do with it.


Its a direct physical connection to the monitor itself and you can switch the connection as you need.


There are also KVM switches that allow you to use one set of Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor, with 2 or more computers (Mac and PC), and switch among them on the fly. Windows again is not involved.


If your PC is an All in one type of design (not a separate monitor) there is to my knowledge no support on Windows to receive video from another computer Mac or PC and switch between video sources.
