No, it is not.

There are Apache, PHP, and MySQL versions for Windows. There are
distributions like XAMPP that make setup easy. Using a VM instead makes
sense if you want to deploy on a *Linux* server but absolutely do not want
to dual-boot to Linux for the development environment.

The OP has not stated production requirements so as to allow you to make
that assessment. Indeed, the fact that they have not found the Windows
versions yet is indication that a VirtualBox setup would be way over their
head. You have given poor advice.

Please do not top-post.
