Is it possible to convert a windows driver to a linux one?
Yes, it involves taking the driver, reverse engineering it and writing one for Linux. Not a simple task by any means. But it seems that people have already done this and support is included in libfprint >= 0.8.3 from what I can tell.

I've used this: https://github.com/mincrmatt12/elan-spi-fingerprint before on my vivobook where the fingerprint sensor was embedded in the trackpad.
